Eli Carter - Home for Christmas

I’ve been driving since the daylight

Through the hills and falling snow

Got a thermos on the dashboard

And a hundred miles to go

Every town looks like a memory

Every road feels like I’ve been And I keep thinking ’bout that

porch light

Waiting somewhere up ahead

I’m going home for Christmas I’m going home tonight

There’s a place beside the kitchen And a porch light burning bright

I’ve been gone a little too long

But I know where I belong

I’m going home for Christmas

And I’m almost home

There’s an old church by the highway

With the bells ringing down the hill

There’s a little store still open

And the town is standing still

I pass the fields I grew up near

And the road begins to bend

Funny how a mile from home

You start feeling young again

Some things change while you’re away

Some things stay the same

The people sitting at that table Still remember your name

And maybe that’s what home is Not a house or a hometown

It’s knowing when you walk through that door Somebody’s glad you’re around

I’m going home for Christmas

I’m going home tonight

I can see that old familiar porch Shining through the night

I’ve been gone a little too long

But I know where I belong I’m going home for Christmas And

I’m almost home I’m going home for Christmas

And the miles are nearly gone

There’s a light on in the window And somebody’s waiting on I’ve

been carrying this feeling Every mile I’ve driven on I’m going home

for Christmas

I’m going home (home...)

The porch light’s up ahead

The road is almost gone

I’ve been looking for that light

All the way home
