Four Days Until Christmas

Four Days Until Christmas

Four days left ’till Christmas
I’m trying to get home to you
I’m in Nevada in the mountains
With the sky an eerie blue
I’m driving past my limit
Awake on pills and joe
Trying to get back cross the country
Trying to beat the coming snow

Snowflakes burst like little bombs
On my windscreen in the night
I can’t see where I’m going
My blades are frozen tight
I’m driving to the image
That is fading out of sight
I’m gonna get back home for Christmas
I’m gonna help make Christmas right

Three days now till Christmas
In the Dakotas, stuck in snow
My windows frozen open
And you should hear the winter blow
I’m not stopping ’till I get there
Although you seem so far away
I’m gonna be back home for Christmas
I’ll be with you on Christmas Day

Snowflakes burst like little bombs
On my windscreen in the night
I can’t see where I’m going
My blades are frozen tight
I’m driving to the image
That is fading out of sight
I’m gonna get back home for Christmas
I’m gonna help make Christmas right

Two days now till Christmas
In Minnesota, freezing cold
I’ve  drunk five thermos’  full of coffee
I’ve put my bladder right on hold
I’m blazing through the streamers
Right through the drifts, some ten feet high
I’m driving back to you for Christmas
I’ll be back home, unless I die

Snowflakes burst like little bombs
On my windscreen in the night
I can’t see where I’m going
My blades are frozen tight
I’m driving to the image
That is fading out of sight
I’m gonna get back home for Christmas
I’m gonna help make Christmas right

One more day till Christmas
I’ve crossed the line into our state
I’ll make it home to you by morning
So, Christmas breakfast…it’s a date
I’ve driven across the country
To get back home, where I should be
I’ll be there when you both wake up
Waiting by the Christmas tree

Snowflakes burst like little bombs
On my windscreen in the night
I can’t see where I’m going
My blades are frozen tight
I’m driving to the image
That is fading out of sight
I’m gonna get back home for Christmas
I’m gonna help make Christmas right
