Lyrics

Driving Home for Christmas

I'm driving home for Christmas

Oh, I can't wait to see those faces

I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah

Well I'm moving down that line

And it's been so long

But I will be there;

Sing this song

To pass the time away

Driving in my car

Driving home for Christmas

It's gonna take sometime

But I'll get there

Top to toe in tailbacks

Oh, I got red lights all around

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

Oh and feel you near me

Driving in my car

I'm 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

Just the same

Yeah

Top to toe in tailbacks

Oh, I got red lights all around

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

Oh and feel you near me

Driving in my car

I'm driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas

With a thousand memories

I take a look at the driver next to me

Oh he's just the same

He's driving home, yeah

Driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas
