Won't You Ride in my Runaway Sleigh (from About A Boy)

This is the song "Won't You Ride in my Runaway Sleigh" from "About A Boy." The song was only ever sung during Season 1 Episode 6 (entitled "About a Bublé") of the TV series when Will Freeman (played by David Walton) goes to the hospital emergency room and sings it for his love interest, Dr. Samantha Lake (played by Adrianne Palicki.) The song was discussed in the 2002 "About A Boy" movie but was never played with lyrics. Main character Will Freeman (played by Hugh Grant in the movie) lives off the royalties from the old Christmas song written by his deceased father, but resents the song because it still eclipses his own achievements. In the TV Series, Will Freeman is the writer of the song and fears he will never write something better.
Lyrics for "Won’t You Ride in my Runaway Sleigh":
[Verse]
After school one winter day
I came across a big red sleigh
Broken down on Highway 63
Cursing it with all his might
A man whose face I knew on sight
Turned around and waved and smiled at me
I’m guessing you at nine or ten
And I can fly my sleigh again
If you find in your heart to believe
[Chorus]
Won’t you ride in my runway sleigh
The reindeer might be biting but they still know the way
And we can fly these presents to the good girls and the boys
And we’ll all have a Merry Christmas
[Verse]
I was a fan of Santa Clause
But even so, it gave me pause
Something in this picture seemed so wrong
His suit was wrinkled, full of holes
His shoes untied, his cheeks had moles
And I swear I saw him sipping something strong
[Chorus]
Won’t you ride in my runway sleigh
We’re missing a few seat belts, but hold on, we’re on our way
And we can fly these presents to the good girls and the boys
And we’ll all have a Merry Christmas
