Merry Christmas, Jesus, It’s Been One Helluva Year Songtext
von Sheri Miller

Merry Christmas is what they tell me
Ye all a good year
But all the company that keeps me is this here warm beer
Under the lights red and green
Flashing in this bar-room scene
I see a line of tired eyes
Drunk with the tears no one cries

Merry Christmas patron saints
Jesus, it′s been one hell of a year


Merry Christmas feel the spirit
Spend your every last quarter and dime
After slaving for hours in factories
Blinded into the night
Under the harsh white lights
We sell our souls nine to five
We scrape the bottom line
So our families survive

Merry Christmas to the people
Jesus, it's been one hell of a year

And come all ye faithful, it don′t mean a thing
I reach out my cup but they keep on walking
I ain't never seen a miracle, but I keep praying

Merry Christmas is what they sell me
Ye all a good year
But I'm searching in this lonely city for an honest face of cheer
Under the northern sky, where every star can shine
There is a dream alive
A chance to see Orion

Merry Christmas this holy city
Jesus, it′s been one hell of a year
Merry Christmas this holy city
Jesus, it′s been one hell of a year
