Lyrics

We got married and spent our first Christmas out in my truck

Had no home just an old Chevy pick-up
We covered it in fairy lights and, embraced the holy night
We lay beneath a pile of sheepskin
Watching the stars like a big 'ol drive-in
Thanked the Lord each day for our luck
Since Christmas in my truck

Spent our second Christmas in a rented apartment
Blankets for drapes and newspaper carpet
Bright orange wallpaper peeling and old, man it was cold
As the water dripped from the roof above we
Filled our four walls with hope and love and
Thanked the Lord each day for our luck
Since Christmas in my truck

Papa had always told me

Work hard, say your prayers, speak the truth, love your wife
And Son, you'll have a wonderful life, so I've always
Worked hard, said my prayers, spoke the truth, loved my wife
And it's true, I've got a wonderful life

Our third Christmas has nearly come and we
Moved into a new starter home and
Cleaned it till the paintwork's gleamed
It's the product of three years of dreams
We've got a new truck on the drive and our
First baby's about to arrive and I
Think I'll call it Chris or Chrissie-Luck
After Christmas in our truck

Work hard, say your prayers, speak the truth, love your wife
And Son, you'll have a wonderful life, so I've
Worked hard, said my prayers, spoke the truth, loved my wife
And it's true, I've got a wonderful life, so I've
Worked hard, said my prayers, spoke the truth, loved my wife
And it's true, I've got a wonderful life

Since Christmas in my truck
