Christmas In The Midwest

It's the wonderful life in black and white
It's a wonderful night in Chicago
I canceled my plans 'cause we're getting snowed in
We'll dig ourselves out again when the morning comes
And when it does, we'll talk about
Spending next year somewhere that it never snows
But deep down I know, what I'll always love best
Is Christmas in the midwest

Church on Christmas Eve, try not to fall asleep
See my friends in the street under the cathedral lights
Tried to turn my key with a frozen car battery
But when it's zero degrees, that's the way that it goes
And as we wait for the jump, we'll talk about
Spending next year way down in Mexico
But deep down I know, what I'll always love best
Is Christmas in the midwest

California sounds nice
When you slip on black ice
And L.A. might not get cold
But snow covered Christmas morning
Well that just don't get old

'Cause deep down I know, what I'll always love best
Well deep down I know I'm sure I would miss
Oh deep down I know, what I'll always love best
Is Christmas in the midwest
