(Verse 1)
Santa drives a Willy’s down a back country dirt road
Mrs. Claus ridin’ shotgun, got that peppermint soul
Rudolph in the rear, hangin’ on with all his might
That red nose glowin’ through the Carolina night
He ain’t rollin’ sleigh bells this far from the pole
Too much mud, too much heat, not enough snow
So he fires up the Jeep with a jingle and a grin
Says, “Giddy up, y’all, let’s ride again”
(Chorus)
He loves drivin’ his Willy’s down below the Mason-Dixon line
Where the pine trees sway and the moonshine shines
Ain’t no snow here to guide that sleigh
So he shifts that stick and he’s on his way
Deliverin’ cheer in a four-wheel drive
That’s how Santa rolls when he hits the South side
(Verse 2)
He stopped by Pop Pop’s still on the edge of town
Grabbed some antifreeze, waved as he turned around
Dropped off a box wrapped in camo and pine
Said, “Tell Pop it’s from me — he’s been mighty fine”
Mrs. Claus sipped sweet tea, boots on the dash
Rudolph chewed jerky, tail waggin’ fast
They ain’t got snow, but they sure got heart
And a southern breeze that warms up the dark
(Chorus)
He loves drivin’ his Willy’s down below the Mason-Dixon line
Where the porch lights flicker and the church bells chime
Ain’t no snow here to fly that sled
So he drives these roads with the stars overhead
Deliverin’ joy in a four-wheel drive
That’s how Santa rolls when the South’s alive
(Bridge)
From Georgia pines to Texas plains
He don’t need reindeer in candy cane lanes
Just a tank full of gas and a heart full of grace
He’s bringin’ the magic to every place
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, he’s drivin’ that Willy’s down below the Mason-Dixon line
With holly in the tailgate and peace on his mind
Ain’t no sleigh bells, just engine hum
But the gifts still land before the morning comes
Deliverin’ cheer in a Southern style ride
That’s Santa’s sleigh when he’s Dixie-side
(Outro)
Santa tips his hat, rolls on through the night
That Willy’s hummin’ under Christmas lights
