I feel asleep, to the sound
of the church bells ringing out
In this quiet little town
i am dreaming.

i woke up to the sound
of an angel crying out
gotta leave this little town

gotta move on

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

gotta phonecall from my son
he said, dad, youre number one
mommy's going nuts, think shes crazy
put your mother on the phone
ive gotta tell her shes not alone
shes sick of waiting around
then i tell her these words

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

keep holding on,
it wont be long
but for now

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

im not coming home, not coming home
this christmas i am all alone
im not coming home, not coming home
i am out here on the road

keep holding on,
it wont be long,
but for now

I'm not coming home
