Oh yeah
One more time, go
Yeah
There’s a wondrous sight and a joyful sound
Every Christmas Eve in a western town
Gather up the kids, all the friends and family
‘Cause the holly’s hung and the candle’s bright
Tuning up a fiddle on a moonlit night
Roll back the rug so we can two step ’round the Christmas Tree
There’s a jolly man in a bright red suit
Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots?
Twirling across the floor, spurs a-jingling merrily
As they sing those carols soft and low
We’ll all be shouting out, “Cotton-Eyed Joe!”
Roll back the rug so we can two step ’round the Christmas Tree
Waiting ‘neath the mistletoe you’ll never get a kiss
I never move that slow, there’s too much I could miss
‘Cause a Western guy can’t be still, and a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can two step ’round the Christmas Tree
Red bandanas, chilly green
Silver buckles on new blue jeans
Jumpin’ ’round the room to a yuletide melody
I’m gonna be ready when Santa comes
But I’m gonna be dancing ’til he does
Roll back the rug so we can two step ’round the Christmas Tree
Waiting ‘neath the mistletoe you’ll never get a kiss
I never move that slow, there’s too much I could miss
‘Cause a Western guy can’t be still, and a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can two step ’round the Christmas Tree
Waiting ‘neath the mistletoe you’ll never get a kiss
I never move that slow, there’s too much I could miss
‘Cause a Western guy can’t be still, and a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can two step ’round the Christmas Tree
Roll back the rug so we can two step ’round the Christmas Tree
Oh yeah
Western Holiday Spirit: A Lively Christmas Gathering
“Two Step ‘Round The Christmas Tree” by Blake Shelton brings a fresh, country-inspired twist to the classic Christmas songbook. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a bustling Western holiday celebration, where friends and family gather, the rug is rolled back, and everyone two-steps in festive joy. The imagery of cowboy boots, bandanas, and a fiddler tuning up under moonlight infuses the holiday with Southern charm and a sense of communal fun. Rather than waiting quietly under the mistletoe, the song encourages listeners to grab the moment, keep moving, and dance their way through Christmas Eve. It’s a reminder that the holiday spirit can be lively, bold, and filled with music and laughter.
