| I know that it’s Christmas where I come from
|
| It don’t feel like Christmas where I am
|
| All the love I’ve known, people made that house a home
|
| They’re so far away from this place that I’ve run
|
| But I know that it’s Christmas where I come from
|
| I know that it’s Christmas where I come from
|
| It don’t feel like Christmas where I am
|
| Mama’s not cooking, cousins aren’t looking
|
| To get into the booze till grandma hears
|
| Somebody shooting off their mouth
|
| Then from the edge of the couch
|
| Tells us, «Be careful now»
|
| Like when she used to ground
|
| The whole gang of us for destroying her house
|
| So deck the halls without me, it’s all right
|
| Maybe call me after dinner if there’s time
|
| I know that it’s Christmas where I come from
|
| It don’t feel like Christmas where I am
|
| All the love I’ve known, people made that house a house
|
| They’re so far away from this place that I’ve run
|
| But I know that it’s Christmas where I come from
|
| It’s not gonna snow here
|
| Wish I had some reindeer and a sleigh
|
| To get me home by Christmas Day
|
| So I know that it’s Christmas where I come from
|
| It don’t feel like Christmas where I am
|
| All the love I’ve known, people made that house a house
|
| They’re so far away from this place that I’ve run
|
| But I know that it’s Christmas, yes I know that it’s Christmas
|
| I know that it’s Christmas where I come from |
