Road Dog Christmas

[Verse 1]
Remember Christmas in the cold
Was the best we'd ever had
When the lights were all down
And the tree lit up the world from downtown
And you said there's no need to put out
The fire in the fire place
I wanna look at your face
And the mistletoe, it glows
Long as candlelight shows the whole room
That Christmas just seems so long ago

[Chorus]
The lights we strung on the mantelpiece
We're trying to act like stars
And we laid on a couch drinking wine that we bought
It was too late to go to the bars
And the footsteps we left in the frost out front
Got buried in the snow
And I've never been one to settle down
But it started to feel like home
But now it's Christmas and I'm on the road alone

[Verse 2]
A year has passed since that night in our room
You kept me around, and I swear I'll be home again soon
Christmas just seems so far away
'Cause I'm out on the road
And I'm tired and weak
And it hurts that I'm gone
And I hear it in your voice when we speak
But I love you, and I hope that's enough

[Chorus]
The lights we strung on the mantelpiece
We're trying to act like stars
And we laid on a couch drinking wine that we bought
It was too late to go to the bars
And the footsteps we left in the frost out front
Got buried in the snow
And I've never been one to settle down
But it started to feel like home
But now it's Christmas and I'm on the road alone
