[Verse 1]
On 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
If I could only borrow one dream from yesterday
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas day

[Verse 2]
It’s been so many times before
She left that candle burning
Oh, too many tears that fell
My soul fill with yearning
If I had sense at all
I'd just be on my way
Be on that train tomorrow
Be home on Christmas day

[Verse 3]
Every time I think about her
All the love I left behind
Memories still linger, oh, in my troubled mind
I could set aside my pride
And just be on my way
I'd be on that train tomorrow
And be home on Christmas day
[Verse 4]
If I had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas day
I’d be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas day
