[Verse 1]
On a cold, Christmas eve came a crash through the trees
That's how the story goes
From town to town, it's been passed down
Through the years out here on the road
A mechanical malfunction
Between the reindeer and the sleigh
Left Santa broke down on the side of the road
In front of the Flying J
[Verse 2]
Well, old school Tim was the first to jump in
To see if he could lend a hand
But the news was bad and old Claus only had
One way out of this jam
So it was, "Breaker one-nine, we got a nine-one-one
At mile marker one-eighty-two"
Bull wagons and flats, cabovers with stacks
Came sliding into the rescue
[Chorus]
It was a Merry Trucking Christmas
A convoy through the night
Instead of sleigh bells ringing and a red nose gleaming
It was train horns and chicken lights
Some of those rigs did an east coast swing
Some a west coast turnaround
Taking all the toys to the girls and boys
And putting the hammer down
[Verse 3]
It didn't take long for the word to get out
And soon every truck in the land
Was grinding gears, spreading good cheer
All part of the miracle plan
In a sea of red suits, doing what truckers do
They drove until they drove out of sight
And they never stopped until the last toy was dropped
Just in the Saint Nick of time
[Chorus]
It was a Merry Trucking Christmas
A convoy through the night
Instead of sleigh bells ringing and a red nose gleaming
It was train horns and chicken lights
Some of those rigs did an east coast swing
Some a west coast turnaround
Taking all the toys to the girls and boys
And putting the hammer down
Taking all the toys to the girls and boys
And putting the hammer down
Merry Trucking Christmas, y'all
