Everybody’s Coming Back to Christmas for Texas (Ice on the Road)

[Verse]

Red and green, gold and silver
On December nights the stars hang low
They’re lighting candles in the window
Glass cracks through fog cast aglow

[Chorus]

Now I’ve got a list that's longer than Santa's
Piles of paper, boxes and bows
Snow is falling in Manhattan
But in Texas it’s just ice on the road

[Verse]

Darling remember the snow falling downtown
Tinsel, parcels, ribbons, and bells
Can’t you see it? Are you picturing it now?
Under the trumpets the angel's sound swells

[Chorus]

Took a bus to the city
With a backpack and a tube of chapstick
To find the warm kindness of strangers in the cold
Snow may be falling in Manhattan
But in Texas there’s just icе on the road

[Verse]

Sorry lines like thе crack in the window
A present well hid from the kids to know
We’re protecting the mystery
We’re enchanting our history
There’s only pretty paper between us and tomorrow

[Chorus]

Old Christmas memories are stirring within me
I turned my face away and dreamed about home
…and sugar plums
Snow may be falling in Manhattan
But in Texas there’s just ice on the road

[Outro]

Snow is falling in Manhattan
But it’s Christmas, baby please come home
