I'm driving home for christmas,
oh, i can't wait to see those faces.
i'm driving home for christmas, yeah,
well i'm moving down the line.

and it's been so long,
but i will be there;
i sing this song
to pass the time away

driving home for christmas
top to toe in tailbacks.
oh, i caught red lights on the run,
get my feet on snowy ground.

so i sing for you,
though you can hear me
when i get through
and feel you near me.

i'm driving home for christmas
with a thousand memories.
i'm driving home for christmas,
i look at the driver next to me;
he's just the same.
