From the hills of Georgia
Across the plains of Tennessee
I've seen and I've done 'most everything
That a man can do or see


If I could only borrow
One dream from yesterday
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day


It's been so many times before
She left that candle burning
And oh too many tears that fell
Mmm I so feel the yearning


If I had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
Be on that train tomorrow
Be home on Christmas Day


Every time I think about her
All the love I left behind
Memories still linger
Within my troubled mind


If I could set aside my pride
Then I'd be on my way
I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day


If I had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day


I said I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas Day
