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
But if I could only borrow
One dream from yesterday
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'll be home on Christmas day
It's been so many times before
She left that candle burning
Oh, too many tears have fell
My soul filled with yearning
If I had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'll be home on Christmas day
Every time I think about her
All the love I left behind
And memories still linger
In my troubled mind
If I could set aside my pride
Then I'd be on my way
I'd catch that train tomorrow
I'll be home on Christmas day
