| Lyrics: |
Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle over snow
covered-plains.
All of the good gifts given today, ours is the sky and the wide open range.
Back in the cities they have different ways, football and eggnog and Christmas
parades.
I'll take my saddle, I'll take the reins, It's Christmas for cowboys wide-open
plains.
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night, the stars overhead are
Christmas tree lights.
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray, It's Christmas for cowboys,
wide-open plains.
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle over
snow-covered plains.
All of the good gifts given today, ours is the sky and the wide open range.
It's Christmas for cowboys, wide open plains.

Kurt performed this number at the Holiday Festival on Ice in Halifax, NS and Oshawa, ON. The number was a tribute to his late father, Dewey, who passed away a few weeks before the show. Kurt introduced the program saying how sad he was he wouldn't have the gift of his father's company this Christmas. He performed the program wearing his father's scarf, his father's hat, his father's belt, and one of his father's old shirts, and closed the program by leaving the hat alone in a spotlight on the ice.
