A Soldier's Holiday

Jingle Bell Rock on the radio
We're dancin' 'round the room in bare feet
You kiss me underneath the mistletoe
Your Santa beard is ticklin' me

But I wake up to the desert wind
Blowin' away my sweet dream

I put on my camo, pull on my boots
It's Christmas time but there's a job to do
Tonight we'll sing carols 'round our little brush tree
Sharin' the memories of our families
It's the way, we celebrate
A Soldiers Holiday

While I'm standing guard I picture you and the kids
Hanging stockings by the firelight
I try not to think about the moments I'll miss
'Til I call you for our FaceTime

I need to see your smiles on the screen
To remind me of the reasons why

I put on my camo, pull on my boots
It's Christmas time but there's a job to do
Tonight we'll open presents 'round our little brush tree
Sharin' the memories of our families
It's the way, we celebrate
A Soldiers Holiday

I wanna be there to tuck the kids in and hold you close
But when I got the call to stand for what's right, I had to go

And put on my camo, pull on my boots
It's Christmas time but there's a job to do
Tonight we'll pray for peace 'round our little brush tree
Sharin' the memories of our families
It's the way, we celebrate
A Soldiers Holiday
