Hometown Christmas

Stoplights and the headlights Are a festive, red, green, and gold Procrastinating shoppers Caffeinated against the cold But there's nothing you can buy me It's your hand I wanna hold There's miles between brothers and years between friends We'll all be together again 'Cause you're not alone when The porch lights are shining It's your invitation to the love that's been waiting Singing "Child, won't you come on in?" It's a hometown Christmas The lights are on the houses and The trees are brought inside The parking spot at the local mall Is the hardest thing to find Yeah, but I'm pretty sure That the Christmas star was in my daughter's eyes last night Yeah, 'cause there's miles between us, years between friends But we'll all be together again 'Cause you're not alone when Those porch lights are shining It's your invitation to the love that's been waiting One thing on my wishlist, it's a hometown Christmas Hark! The herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King Hometown Christmas Peace on Earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconcile Hometown Christmas Grandma's singing those Christmas songs That none of us have ever heard Us cousins, we'd be playing' up 'Til dinner was served But the feeling that comes back to me Is hard to put into words 'Cause there's miles between lovers, years between friends And we'll all be together again 'Cause you're not alone when (alone when) The porch lights are shining (shining) It's your invitation to a love that's been waiting So, child, come on in We're not alone when (woo!) The porch lights are shining It's your invitation to a love that's been waiting Singing, "Child won't you come on in?" It's a hometown Christmas It's a hometown Christmas (ayy, ay-yeah) And hark! The herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King
