"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.
