I'll be home for Christmas,. You can plan on me.. Please have snow and mistletoe. And presents for the tree.. . Christmas Eve will find me. Where the love light leads..
[Verse 1]. Line of limousines leaves one by one. The prayers been prayed. The hymns been sung. Black mascara's already run. But the tears keep flowing.
[Verse 1]. Don't wanna hear that stupid melody. The one we used to always keep playing on repeat. 'Cause it just takes me to the place when you were mine.
[Verse 1]. She's waiting, praying, that he don't drive tonight. She's pacing the floor, she's checking the time. Wondering how the glow with that porch light hasn't gone out.
[Verse 1]. Like a cigarette without a light. Like a whipper wheel without the night. A broken buzz that's lost it's high. Oh, baby, that's what I feel like.
[Verse 1]. We got a pontoon boat with a Yamaha. People dressed like they're in Panama. Small town, spring break. Every weekend 'round this place. And there's a bunch of boys trying to catch the eyes.
[Verse 1]. It's two kids flying down the hall in our bedroom. It's a breaking board on the front porch, you swear you're gonna fix it soon. It's the kitchen table where we say our prays, give a little thanks to the man upstairs.
[Verse 1]. You think I'm crying over you. You think I'm dying too. You think I'm thinking way to much. And sadly out of touch. With all the world and all my friends, well think what you want and think again, think again.
[Verse 1]. I don't really care about making any plans. Leave it up in the air, give it up to chant. Seeing where it goes, seeing where it lands. I just wanna go as fast as we can.
[Verse 1]. Let me make one thing clear. You can buy me a beer, but you ain't taking me home. No pick up lines, I came here tonight to shed a few tears on my own.
(Verse 1). I'm not supposed to be thinking 'bout you, lying here in this bed. Too much has gone wrong and we should move on. That's what we both said.
A stray bullet and a momma cries. Her baby won't be coming home tonight. Sirens screaming down the avenue. Just another story on the evening news, oh woah.
[Verse 1]. I'm sorry. But I'm just a girl not usually the kind to show my heart to the world. I'm pretty good at keeping it together. I hold my composure, for worse or for better.
Little boy, six years old. A little too used to being alone. Another new mom and dad, another school. Another house that'll never be home. . When people ask him how he likes this place.
Mama, you taught me to do the right things. So now you have to let your baby fly. You've given me everything that I will need. To make it through this crazy thing called life.
Oh he gave up on arrows a long, long time ago. Turns out I'm too hard to hit so he put away his bow. I might just keep on runnin' from here to Timbuktu.
Did you check the tires?. Put gas in the car?. I don't think you'll need too much. 'Cause you ain't gonna get that far. . Did you pack the good times?.
Once upon a time our world was on fire and I loved to watch it burn. Wild and reckless, never any limits, guess I had a lot to learn. Cause fire turns to ember, embers to ashes that blow away too soon.
Who are you. The one for whom I'd really gladly suffer. Who are you. The one I'll always love above another. You're my world, you're my hope, you're all my dreams and all my heart.
