Lyrics The airport's packed, the flights delayed The snowstorm’s coming, but I just can’t stay This time The roads are slick, the wind cuts deep But the memories of home won’t let me sleep Tonight Every step's a mile, every second’s a prayer I’m chasing the warmth that’s surely waiting for me there I’m racing home for Christmas Through the storm and the winter's bite To the love that’s wrapped in traditions old as time Every light on the highway Every song that echoes through the night Leads me closer, right back to where my heart resides The train broke down on the edge of town Now there's a sea of strangers standing looking all around I grab my bag, start walking alone No snow or ice will keep me stuck here so far from home I miss the smell of the pinewood tree and the good times With my friends and family The memories keep me strong (oh) I’ve been away far too long I’m racing home for Christmas Through the storm and the winter's bite To the love that’s wrapped in traditions old as time Every step that I take Every single breath that I sigh Brings me closer, right back to where my dreams reside The stars above seem to light my way Through the darkest night, to the break of day I hear their voices, see the fire’s glow I’m almost there, just a mile to go I’m racing home for Christmas There's nothing too hard that's in my way The warmth of their arms will melt away the gray Every trial I’ve faced Oh, every tear that I’ve cried Fades away, at the moment I step inside The door swings open, and there they stand A smile, a hug, a guiding hand I made it home for Christmas Through the storm and winter's bite To the love that’s wrapped in traditions old as time
Lyrics
The airport's packed, the flights delayed
The snowstorm’s coming, but I just can’t stay
This time
The roads are slick, the wind cuts deep
But the memories of home won’t let me sleep
Tonight
Every step's a mile, every second’s a prayer
I’m chasing the warmth that’s surely waiting for me there
I’m racing home for Christmas
Through the storm and the winter's bite
To the love that’s wrapped in traditions old as time
Every light on the highway
Every song that echoes through the night
Leads me closer, right back to where my heart resides
The train broke down on the edge of town
Now there's a sea of strangers standing looking all around
I grab my bag, start walking alone
No snow or ice will keep me stuck here so far from home
I miss the smell of the pinewood tree and the good times
With my friends and family
The memories keep me strong
(oh) I’ve been away far too long
I’m racing home for Christmas
Through the storm and the winter's bite
To the love that’s wrapped in traditions old as time
Every step that I take
Every single breath that I sigh
Brings me closer, right back to where my dreams reside
The stars above seem to light my way
Through the darkest night, to the break of day
I hear their voices, see the fire’s glow
I’m almost there, just a mile to go
I’m racing home for Christmas
There's nothing too hard that's in my way
The warmth of their arms will melt away the gray
Every trial I’ve faced
Oh, every tear that I’ve cried
Fades away, at the moment
I step inside
The door swings open, and there they stand
A smile, a hug, a guiding hand
I made it home for Christmas
Through the storm and winter's bite
To the love that’s wrapped in traditions old as time
