This song has been described as perhaps "the most heart warming Holiday song ever written, a tribute to both Walmart Christmas shopping, and the heart of the American Dream."

Christmas Truck
By David Snyder

V1.

One winter night over Alabam
Old Santa Claus lost his way
He started off in the cold north pole
And he was drinkin’ all the way

The deers were scared
Rudolph cried
it wasn't much of a holiday
When two miles outside of
Birmingham
Santa crashed his sleigh

Round midnight daddy
Found him
The toys were nowhere to be seen
Santa was sitting in the middle
Of the woods
And Rudolph’s nose was green

Santa said sir
I'm sorry
I shouldn't have been drinkin' all that beer
I guess I won't be bringing the kids
any Christmas toys this year

But Daddy said to Santa
They're gonna have better luck

Cause we don’t miss Christmas in Alabam
And this year
Santa Claus is drivin' a truck

Ch:

Yeah, Daddy is drivin' a Christmas truck
all the way to Walmart town

Two hours before the daylight breaks
All the prices will go down

Yeah Daddy is driving a Christmas truck
All over the whole wide world
Bringing some Walmart Christmas joy
to every boy and girl

V2.

Little Jimmy is gettin' an iPhone
Little April gets a Play Station 3
Mama is gettin' a Roku
I wish they would give one to me

If you believe in Magic
You’ll find a way to make your own
And Daddy has always known just how
To bring that Magic home

Ch:

Yeah, Daddy is drivin' a Christmas truck
all the way to Walmart town

Two hours before the daylight breaks
All the prices will go down go down

Yeah daddy is driving a Christmas truck
All over whole wide world
Bringing some Walmart Christmas joy
to every boy and girl
Bringing some Walmart Christmas joy
to every boy and girl

The Immortal Christmas Question Lingers:

Is Tater Totts David Snyder, or is David Snyder really Tater Totts? Is anyone on this forum really who they say they are?

Think about it y'all. It keeps me up at night.

I remember this one.

Is it the most heart warming Holiday song ever written? I believe it is!

Listened over on Spotify and gave it a "like" too for what that's worth.

Really well done, David, enjoyed very much.

Best to you and yours for Christmas.

David,

Yes, a Christmas classic indeed! I remember it well.

Great to hear this again.

The return of Tater!

Epic! This was before my time, but a classic never ages anyway. Great song, terrific rendition. Love the subtle slide (steel?) backing. It IS starting to feel a lot like Christmas around here...

Tater Tots tops it again
Extremely clever - loved those lyrics
Loved it

PS - Was that the Christmas truck that ran over Grandpa

Ah, tradition!! A terrific tribute, David, as only your masterful touch could pull off. I like the visuals --a view of Christmas we don't often get to see.

Wonder if Tater tots was going to make an appearance before the end of the year. Very cool song Tater. super vocal and lyric. Well done

David,

Those are very interesting lyrics.
I understand what Christmas is like in America.
The vocals and backing track are perfect for these lyrics.
It's a great Christmas song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello David,

Your Christmas Classic is always a good addition to the cheer of the season!

I live just 91 miles north of Birmingham - I think he lost my address. Well, it's a new subdivision and maybe he didn't get the memo about us. That could explain it!

Always a fun listen!'' Hope Santa was good to you & yours. And may 2024 be the best new year you've ever had. Wishing you health and prosperity.

Hi, David.

I was struck by the grammar in this line:

   The deers were scared

So I asked the internet Why isn't the plural of deer deers? and it said:


Apparently "Santy Claus" also comes from the German, and not the North Pole, as Coca Cola would have us believe.

(The Internet also says "deers" is grammatically correct, so it must be true!)

Glad Christmas was saved again! Thanks Walmart and Monster Trucks!

And Tater Tots! Or David Snyder? I've spent many a sleepless night wondering.

Y'all,

I am so behind!!

In order to stay caught up on the forum I'm just going to have to give a group thanks to all of you lovely wonderful people who took the time to listen and comment on Christmas truck.

I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday and has a great New Year coming up with writing more kicking songs.

Happy New Year everybody!!

Very amusing lyrics. A Christmas treat for us all.

Hi David
That's really cool
Great Christmas song
Well sung
And you have created an excellent background track
Great job
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

We do remember this and we’ve added it to the “must listen” holiday songs that include Robert Earl Keen’s Christmas with the Family. 😉

Regarding who is Tater and who is David, E.E. Cummings said that it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are!

Happy New Year!

I had a smile on my face the whole time listening. Great lyrics worth a hearty chuckle!
