I fell asleep, to the sound
of the church bells ringing out
In this quiet little town
i am dreaming.

i woke up to the sound
of an angel crying out
gotta leave this little town

gotta move on

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

gotta phonecall from my son
he said, dad, youre number one
mommy´s going nuts, think shes crazy
put your mother on the phone
ive gotta tell her shes not alone
shes sick of waiting around
then i tell her these words

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

keep holding on,
it wont be long
but for now

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

keep holding on,
it wont be long,
but for now
not coming home
