Lyrics
[Verse 1] Grandpa's stringing lights on the old fence line Mama's got the kitchen warm with peppermint and pine Tractor's wearing tinsel like a Sunday suit And the kids are making angels in their muddy boots [Chorus] There's snow on the barn roof, stars in the sky Love in the lamplight shining so bright We got everything we need right here tonight Snow on the barn roof, hearts flying high This is how Christmas is supposed to feel Out where the country Christmas love is real [Verse 2] Fiddle's playing carols while the fire burns low Pickup trucks keep coming down that gravel road Cider's getting passed around in mason jars And we're counting all our blessings instead of counting stars [Chorus] There's snow on the barn roof, stars in the sky Love in the lamplight shining so bright We got everything we need right here tonight Snow on the barn roof, hearts flying high This is how Christmas is supposed to feel Out where the country Christmas love is real [Bridge] City lights can't hold a candle To this holy night we're living Every snowflake is a blessing Every moment worth the giving [Chorus] There's snow on the barn roof, stars in the sky Love in the lamplight shining so bright We got everything we need right here tonight Snow on the barn roof, hearts flying high This is how Christmas is supposed to feel Out where the country Christmas love is real [Outro] Yeah, the country Christmas love is real (Steel guitar fades out with a final, echoing phrase)
