So this is how it ends
Here in Tinsel Town
Three thousand miles
From whatever went before
And going down
Going down
Christmas in the southland
Lonely to the bone
Hanging on
To a promise that you made
Long ago
Long ago
And I've tried
To do my best
And I've learned
To live with nothing less
All it's getting me
Is deeper in this mess
Of a chance
Of a chance
Sunset Christmas evening
Church bells in your ears
Nothing's to give, boy
And nothing's to receive
This year
This year
So you walk down to the market
Feeling like a lie
A twelve pack of beer
Will make your spirits merry and bright
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
And I've tried
To do my best
And I've learned
To live with nothing less
Merry Christmas, boy
And may God bless
Your chance
Your chance
Your chance
