There's music in the city
And 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 hurryin' 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 to come home
The pies are in the oven
You can almost taste the air
And it warms my heart to feel her love
And know how much she cares
It's funny how going back
Can get you back to where you belong
It's the difference in just a melody
And my favorite Christmas song
Now it's Christmas, Christmas, I'm hurryin' 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 on home"
Mama just called and said "it's time for you to come home"
