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.
