Blake Shelton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will come and go away
But I got so far to go
But I wanna go home
I need to go home
Maybe surrounded by
Strangers and Christmas lights
But I wanna go home
God I miss you, you know
I can close my eyes and see the angel on the tree
A blanket of snow outside
And all my friends and family
And though I know that you're no farther than a call away
I need to see your face
A call could never be the same
Another Christmas day
Will come and go away
And I won't leave you alone
Don't wanna go home
I've got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna go home
Now the reasons I'm so far away ain't good enough
Whatever they need me for
I know that I need you more
So I'll do the things I've got to do to get back to you
I need you to believe
I'll make it back by Christmas Eve
Another Christmas day will come and go away
And I won't leave you alone
No, I'm gonna go home
I'm gonna be home
Though I'm surrounded by
This cold December night
I feel so alone
I'm gonna go home
Babe, I miss you you know
Let me go home
I've had my run, baby I'm done
I'm coming back home
Let me go home
It'll all be alright
When I'm holding you tight
'Cause this Christmas I'm home
The song "Home" by Blake Shelton is a sentimental and emotional depiction of the necessity of family and home during the holiday season. The song is written in the form of a letter from the singer to his lover expressing his desire to be home during Christmas. The lyrics encompass the feelings of loneliness, longing, and despair that can accompany many during the holiday season. The song begins with the singer lamenting that Christmas day is just another day that will come and go without him being home. The verses go on to describe the singer's feelings of homesickness and his thoughts of being surrounded by strangers and Christmas lights. Despite knowing that his loved ones are just a phone call away, the singer expresses his need to see their faces and to be held close. Towards the end of the song, the singer promises his loved one that he will make it back home by Christmas Eve and expresses that no matter what, he is going to be home.
The song "Home" has become a holiday classic and is often played on various radio and television stations during the holiday season. Interestingly, the song was not originally intended to be a holiday tune but instead was meant to be an inspirational ballad. However, the song's lyrics and melody so perfectly capture the feelings of the holiday season that it has become a holiday standard. Another interesting fact about the song is that it was first recorded by Michael Bublé but later became a hit for Blake Shelton in 2008. Additionally, the song's music video is a touching tribute to the men and women serving in the military and their families who must spend the holidays apart. Finally, the song has been covered by a variety of artists, including Kidz Bop, Chris Mann, and Phillip Phillips, to name a few.
Chords: G-Cadd9-D
Line by Line Meaning
Another Christmas day
Holiday season is once again upon us
Will come and go away
And will pass like every other year
But I got so far to go
But I am physically and emotionally distant from where I want to be
But I wanna go home
But I crave to be where I belong
I need to go home
I yearn to return to my true place of belonging
Maybe surrounded by
Perhaps I am currently located in the midst of
Strangers and Christmas lights
People I do not know, amidst holiday decorations
I shouldn't feel so alone
In theory, I should not be lonely
But I wanna go home
But nothing compares to being in my true place of belonging
God I miss you, you know
I miss my loved ones terribly
I can close my eyes and see the angel on the tree
I can vividly recall various festive memories
A blanket of snow outside
With winter-like conditions surrounding them
And all my friends and family
And all the people most dear to me
And though I know that you're no farther than a call away
And despite the fact that I could reach them with ease
I need to see your face
I still require physical interaction with them
A call could never be the same
A simple phone call is no substitute for being there in person
And I won't leave you alone
And I won't venture far from you
Don't wanna go home
I don't desire to return to my current location
I've got to go home
I absolutely must to return to my place of belonging
Let me go home
Please allow me to return
I'm just too far from where you are
I am simply too distant from where I should be
Now the reasons I'm so far away ain't good enough
The reasons for my current location are insufficient
Whatever they need me for
Regardless of why I am where I am
I know that I need you more
I am certain that my loved ones matter most
So I'll do the things I've got to do to get back to you
Therefore, I will do everything in my power to return home
I need you to believe
In order to achieve this, I need your faith and support
I'll make it back by Christmas Eve
I will return in time for Christmas Eve
Though I'm surrounded by
Although I may currently be in the middle of
This cold December night
Chilly December weather
I feel so alone
I remain painfully isolated
Babe, I miss you you know
My baby, you should know how much I miss you
I've had my run, baby I'm done
I have finished the things I needed to do
It'll all be alright
Everything will be fine
When I'm holding you tight
Once I am finally with my loved ones and embracing them tightly
'Cause this Christmas I'm home
This Christmas, I am exactly where I should be, at home with my loved ones

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home, mmm
May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
I'm fine baby, how are you?
Well I would send them but I know
That it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmm, I got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far
From where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like
I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
That this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
I still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Its been almost 10 years since i was put in prison.... i had to serve 2 years in federal prison for a dumb mistake i made when i was 18 years old.... we had radios in there and the only channels you could pick up were the country music stations.... this song came on every single day... brought a tear to my eye every time..... how i missed home... missed my family... missed my girlfriend.... it was the worst experience in my life... but this song helped me through every day.... im proud to say ive never been back... i have a excellent job and a wonderful baby boy.... Thanks Blake Shelton for this wonderful song... it helped me realize what i left behind and what i will never leave behind again!

My step-dad is in prison... He sent me the name of this song and said listen to it! As soon as I heard the words " I wanna come home," I cryed like a baby. I want my dad (I like to call him dad that's how close we are) he will never be out 😭😭😭😭 I cry so hard when I talk to him!!! I'm only 9 so most people think I really wouldn't know much about this or care BUT I DO!!!

Two years ago my son died of cancer. He was 45. I've loved this song for years but now it means so much more to me. Someday I'll go home and see him again.
