(moderately slow)
From 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
But if I could only borrow
One dream from yesterday
I d be on that train tomorrow
I ll be home on Christmas day
It s been so many times before
She left that candle burning
Oh, too many tears have fell
My soul filled with yearning
If I had any sense at all
I d just be on my way
I d be on that train tomorrow
I ll be home on Christmas day
Every time I think about her
All the love I left behind
And memories still linger
In my troubled mind
If I could set aside my pride
Then I d be on my way
I d catch that train tomorrow
I ll be home on Christmas day
