If you're goin' out to party this December, Then the city's where the swingin' places are. But the holidays I always will remember Are a long way from this shopping center bar. There's a bough of holly painted on the window Underneath the plastic mistletoe And they serve a cocktail called a "Merry Christmas" But there's somewhere else I wish that I could go. I keep dreamin' of Christmas in the Country With the relatives and friends I used to know But the card I wrote today And sent so far away Is as close as I can get to goin' home. There are Christmas trees for sale out on the sidewalk And I got a lot of shoppin' left to do But a Christmas carol's playin' on the jukebox And the music takes my mind back home to you. I keep dreamin' of Christmas in the Country With the relatives and friends I used to know But the card I wrote today And sent so far away Is as close as I can get to goin' home. Reminiscin' makes me smile And for a moment I'm a child Peekin' out while Santa's sneakin' in Then I hear the city sounds The waitress brings another round And I realize you can't go home again. But I keep dreamin' of Christmas in the Country With the relatives and friends I used to know But the card I wrote today And sent so far away Is as close as I can get to goin' home. Yes, the card I wrote today To the folks so far away Is as close as I can get to goin' home.
