I'm waiting for the Christmas train

Dreaming of the house where I was raised

Holly on the door and presents on the floor

I'm waiting for the Christmas train

​

I'm getting on the Christmas train

Hoping my home town still looks the same

A candle burning bright, waits for me tonight

I'm getting on the Christmas train

​

Friends and family gather 'round, if for a few short days

My sister's sure to cry when we part ways

Thrown back in your cell, you;ll know how far you fell

If you've been on the Christmas train

​

I'm getting off the Christmas train

They'll be waiting there to take my name

And walk me down the halls, back to the cold, gray walls

I'm getting off the Christmas train

​

Friends and family gather 'round, if for a few short days

My mother's sure to cry when we part ways

Thrown back in your cell, you;ll know how far you fell

If you've been on the Christmas train
