Great going home for Christmas
Liner Notes
#unseasonal #christmas song because you can't wait until December to write them. This is not my experience; just an amalgamation of stories.
Lyrics
V1
Half the trains were cancelled and the ones that were running
Were running an hour late
Crammed in like sardines, with no chance of a seat
Sitting on my luggage is the best I’ll get
My bag is full of presents that I don’t think
My family will appreciate
But it’s the thought that counts even if that thought
Was ever so last minute
Ch
It’s great going home for Christmas
It’s great going home for Christmas
I keep telling myself
V2
My folks still send round a round robin
With all the family news
My sister got a promotion, my brother’s getting married
And I’m still playing my tunes
The house is full of decorations, that we made as kids
That come out every year
It’s like to no time has passed and we’re still just children
Every time we’re here
Bridge
Baby Jesus had a manger in a stable
Where the animals were at least respectful of his personal space
While I’m stuck here on a campbed in the kitchen
Getting woken by the cat that keeps stepping on my face
