Kentucky Fried Christmas
Anne Wilson's 'Kentucky Fried Christmas' is a festive, lighthearted country song celebrating Christmas traditions in Kentucky. It paints a vivid picture of porch lights, tractor rides, and family gatherings, blending secular holiday fun with Christian elements like Charlie Brown and Jesus, and reading from the family Bible. The song emphasizes local customs, from Walmart turkey to pecan pie, and a sense of community and home. While it mentions Jesus and Bible reading, the focus is more on cultural celebration than deep theological reflection, making it a cheerful holiday tune that captures the warmth and uniqueness of a Kentucky Christmas.
It's a Kentucky fried Christmas, come on down
Where the lights stay up on the porch year round
It's a John deer tractor sleigh bell ride
And there's no such thing as a silent night
In the blue grass state it's a state of mind
And we like our Christmas Kentucky fried
From Louisville to Harlan
It's time to deck the halls
With Charlie Brown and Jesus
Front yard inflatables
Get a turkey from the Walmarts
Last minute presents and cards
We do things different round here
It's a Kentucky fried Christmas, come on down
Where the lights stay up on the porch year round
It's a John deer tractor sleigh bell ride
And there's no such thing as a silent night
In the blue grass state it's a state of mind
And we like our Christmas Kentucky fried
Loretta Lynn and Ricky spinning on the on vinyl
Daddy reading stories from the family bible
See the stars and the moon shine
On a cold December night
We do things different round here
It's a Kentucky fried Christmas, come on down
Where the lights stay up on the porch year round
It's a John deer tractor sleigh bell ride
And there's no such thing as a silent night
In the blue grass state it's a state of mind
And we like our Christmas Kentucky fried
Jingle bells, Colonel Clause
Home grown all the way
Oh, what fun it is eat
Hot browns on Christmas Day
Bells on wild cats ring
Eating pecan pie
Oh, what fun it is to add some slide
It's a Kentucky fried Christmas, come on down
Where the lights stay up on the porch year round
It's a John deer tractor sleigh bell ride
And there's no such thing as a silent night
In the blue grass state it's a state of mind
And we like our Christmas Kentucky fried
