Driving Home For Christmas
Christmas Hits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving home for Christmas
I can't wait to see those faces
Driving home for Christmas, yeah
When I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas

It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tail lights
I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
(Driving in my car)
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories

I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's just the same

Top to toe in tail lights
Oh, I got red lights on the run
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
I feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories

I'm driving home for Christmas




With a thousand memories
I'm driving home, driving home for Christmas, yeah
