Leave The Christmas Lights On For Me Lyrics

I've been on the road for three weeks now playing sold out shows
Driving back through Arkansas, we ran into snow
I thought I'd be there in time for dinner Christmas Eve
But there's a jackknifed rig blocking 40 East

Oh, but leave the Christmas lights on for me
I don't wanna spend it in a motel all alone
Leave the Christmas lights on for me
Christmas won't be Christmas if I can't make it home

I love what I do, but I hate the being gone
The thrill of Christmas morning's something I can't miss out on
Tell the kids I'm bringing presents, and I swear I'm on my way
But the way it's looking, I might have to hop in Santa's sleigh

Oh, but leave the Christmas lights on for me
I don't wanna spend it in a motel all alone
Leave the Christmas lights on for me
Christmas won't be Christmas if I can't make it home

About the time I started losing hope
Like a miracle, the weather broke
And they cleared the roads
Alright, here we go

Leave the Christmas lights on for me
I ain't gonna spend it in a motel all alone
Leave the Christmas lights on for me
Christmas won't be Christmas if I don't make it home
Oh, but I'll be there for Christmas
I'm gonna make it home
