 SANTA CAN'T STAY (Dwight Yoakam)
 performed by Dwight Yoakam on COME ON CHRISTMAS (1997)
 A
 Cold tears fall from his eyes
                                       E
 As he turns into the night and walks away
 
 Lucille runs outside
                                 A
 Just to see if there might be a sleigh
 
 Little Bobby stares down
                                  D
 At the plate where cookies still lay
     A 
 And tries to understand
     E                      A
 Why momma said Santa can't stay
 
 
 
 D          E           A
 Momma said Santa can't stay
          D             E           A
 Said she told him that twice yesterday
        D             E
 Then a car just like Dad's
 A                    F#m
 Pulled out and drove away
       D                         E
 After momma said Santa couldn't stay
 
 
 E
 Santa can't stay

 A
 They both heard him coming
                                       E
 Saw Mom run down the hall and holler wait
 
 Doug you're drunk don't come inside
                                        A
 I'm not joking I've had all this I can take
 
 He threw a present really hard
                                     D
 That almost hit Mom's new boyfriend Ray
 
 And yelled ho-ho lucky for you she's here
      E                    A
 And said that Santa can't stay
 
 
 D          E            A
 Momma said Santa can't stay
          D             E           A
 Said she told him that twice yesterday
        D             E
 Then a car just like Dad's
        A             F#m
 Pulled out and drove away
       D                          E
 After momma said Santa couldn't stay
 
 
 D           E          A
 Momma said Santa can't stay
          D                   E           A
 Said she warned him about it twice yesterday
 D                    E
 Then a car just like Dad's
 A                    F#m
 Pulled out and drove away
       D                         E
 After momma said Santa couldn't stay
 
 
     D          E           A
 Hey momma said Santa can't stay
         D                           E           A
 Said he might just have to beat the crap out of Ray
        D             E
 Then a car just like Dad's
        A             F#m
 Peeled out and drove away man
       D                           E
 After momma yelled Santa couldn't stay
 D          E           A
 Momma said Santa can't stay
