about

This track is about coming home for Christmas too late and expecting everyone to wait for you. I broke Christmas tradition.

lyrics

I only got three days off for the season
But, I’m glad that I could make it home, to help tear down the lights
And I wanted to get you something real nice for Christmas, Al
But, I spent my last ten bucks, at a pump off 85

And there’s not a whole lot that I keep close to my chest
And there’s not a whole lot that I still pray for anymore
I guess I’m coming home to tell my family about my failures
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I’m a wreck

Well, it hardly feels like winter ‘cause it barely even snowed
And we never understood it, the county shut down all the roads again
And I’m trying not to waste another December
Yeah, you know how this used to feel, well, I’m trying to remember

And there’s not a whole lot that I keep close to my chest
And there’s not a whole lot that I still pray for anymore
I guess I’m coming home to tell my family about my failures
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I’m a wreck

I’ve been sleeping with the lights on
I’ve been waking up in my jeans, to some stupid Lifetime reruns
And you said you gotta go, but this place don’t feel like home
If I’m driving high school roads without you

And there’s not a whole lot that I keep close to my chest
And there’s not a whole lot that I still pray for anymore
I guess I’m coming home to tell my family about my failures
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I’m a wreck

I wrote a song once about a car crash and having too many teeth and I guess it just stuck.
