There's music in the city
And the lights are on display
There's a big ol' tree for all to see
Where the children run and play
I look out through my window
Somethin' just don't seem right
Til I said hello and heard her voice
On the other end of the line
Now it's Christmas, Christmas
I'm hurrying' on my way
Christmas, Christmas,
Like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells,
Just the ringing of the phone
Mama just called and said it's time for me come home
The pies are in the oven
You can almost taste the air
It warms my heart to feel her love
And know how much she cares
It's funny how going back
Can get you back where you belong
it's the difference in just a melody and my favorite Christmas song
Now it's Christmas, Christmas
I'm hurrying' on my way
Christmas, Christmas,
Like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells,
Just the ringing of the phone
Mama just called and said it's time for you come home
Mama just called and said it's time for you come home
