Well I heard this December my sister won't be home
She's married now with a family of her own
But who will put that star up on the tree
See I'm tall enough these days that I can reach
I could drive all night
Just fighting sleep
I know I'm getting old
But this year I'll be home for Christmas Eve
Well they told me the planes were grounded 'cross the state
There's no quick escape, no sign of Santa's sleigh
At home it's warm and the lights are hung with care
As I'm stuck at an airport bar in old O'Hare
I could drive all night
Just fighting sleep
I know I'm getting old
But this year I'll be home for Christmas Eve
Wait, don't start the party without me
I got two or three presents
To fit under the Christmas tree yeah
Hey, snow and a little cold
You know it won't stop me
Cause I'm coming home
Oh oh oh oh oh
Instrumental
Well I could drive all night
Just fighting sleep
I know I'm getting old
But this year don't you know
I will drive all night
Just fighting sleep
I know I'm getting old
But this year I'll be home for Christmas Eve
