Lyrics:

Christmas time is coming here
And I'm running late
I had a little too much fun
And I can't see straight

Couldn't find my ticket
And I missed my train
Got back on the telephone
Tried to catch a plane

If I don't make it
We're headed for a fight
Get me back home
Before Christmas night, oh yeah

Come on baby, don't be mad
I know the way you feel
Stuck out on the motorway
And the weather's unreal

My ride's gone and broke down
On the interstate
Jogging to the truck stop
I'm gonna hitch all the way

If I don't make it
We're headed for a fight
Get me back home
Before Christmas night, oh yeah

Christmas time is finally here
As I walk up the stairs
I open up the bedroom door
And my baby ain't there

Went to see my neighbor
Tell me, where did she go?
He said, 'she waited 'round all night for you
I think she left with Joe'

I'm headed for the pub and I'm getting in a fight
And I don't care if it's Christmas night, oh yeah
