Nothing's going to stop this boy from getting home from working on the road to spend Christmas with his girl. Some big changes are coming!
lyrics
On My Way (by Ken Ketler)
VERSE 1
I'm so long from home, lord knows, I gotta make a living
I sat alone at KFC last month for Thanksgiving.
And when we Skype at night I can see those tears in your eyes.
We’ll be face-to-face by December 25.
CHORUS
I got my hat, my boots, got my ugly sweater
I ain't afraid of no frightful weather
As long as I can make it home to you by Christmas Day.
I got some gifts, some bags, got some colored paper.
I'm dreaming right now of your kisses later.
Ain't gonna leave again, I'm coming home to stay.
And I'm on my way!
VERSE 2
Been riding planes and trains, four-wheel-drivin' pick-ups
I've slept in hotels, motels, and bus stops, I ain’t gonna give up
The snow may be pretty, but it's really piling up outside
The sheriff said the highway's closed, but I don't think he’s right! (not tonight)
CHORUS
I got my hat, my boots, got my ugly sweater
I ain't afraid of no frightful weather
As long as I can make it home to you by Christmas Day.
I got some gifts, some bags, got some colored paper.
I'm dreaming right now of your kisses later.
Ain't gonna leave again, I'm coming home to stay.
And I'm on my way!
BRIDGE
You and me and big Jim Beam, two cups of spiced egg nog
On a bearskin rug by the dim glow of a warm fire log
I got a little question and a shiny diamond ring
On Christmas day, our new life begins!
CHORUS
I got my hat, my boots, got my ugly sweater
I ain't afraid of no frightful weather
As long as I can make it home to you by Christmas Day.
I got some gifts, some bags, got some colored paper.
I'm dreaming right now of your kisses later.
Ain't gonna leave again, I'm coming home to stay.
And I'm on my way!
