Lyrics
Iowa County Christmas - words and music by Ryan Sheeler (2015)
VERSE 1
Snow blew in last weekend; it shutdown Highway 69
Just in time to hit the road and make it back for Christmas Time
Grandma makes the turkey and we all gather 'round the stove
The fields are white with snow and it's quiet on the road
CHORUS
It's an Iowa Country Christmas - a special time of year
With all the time we spend apart, it's such a joy to come back here
It might seem old-fashioned, but it's the only one for me
(It's) an Iowa Country Christmas with love and family
VERSE 2
Gram and Grampa are gettin' older...mom and dad, retirin' soon
My brother's got a wife and 4 kids; they're all coming this afternoon
Seems like it's a month of Sundays since we all see each other any more
It's a shame life gets too busy. But it's a gift just to walk through that door.
CHORUS - SOLO - CHORUS - END
