"Home For Christmas" lyrics
He hears a jingle on the door
Lifts his head up off his paws
Tail wagging on the concrete floor
Oldest dog the rescues got
Little girl looks in every cage
Eyes light up soon as she sees
The pup that showed up yesterday
"Hey mama can we keep her please?"
It's closing time
December 23rd
They cut the lights
Guess it ain't his turn
He just wants a backyard full of snow
Spot on the couch to call his own
Name on a collar and a bowl
And someone putting something in it
To lie beside the fireplace
To have his picture in a frame
He's been a good boy everyday
Hey Santa if you're listening
He don't want a bone
He don't want to lick the dishes
He just wants a home
A home for Christmas
He don't need no stocking
Or some new chew toy wrapped
Save the bows
Save the boxes
He don't need all of that
But that sleighs already headed
Around the world and back
Just take him where he's wanted
Is that too much to ask?
'Cause he just wants a backyard full of snow
Spot on the couch to call his own
Name on a collar and a bowl
And someone putting something in it
To lie beside the fireplace
To have his picture in a frame
He's been a good boy everyday
Hey Santa if you're listening
He don't want a bone
He don't want to lick the dishes
He just wants a home
A home for Christmas
Hears a jingle on the door
Lifts his head up off his paws
December 24th
Finally hears that cage unlock
Now he jumps in a backyard full of snow
Up on a couch he calls his own
Names on a collar and a bowl
He never thought he'd get it
He lies beside the fireplace
Sees his picture in a frame
He'll be a good boy everyday
Hey Santa thanks for listening
And throwing him a bone
And checking off his wishlist
All he wanted was a home
A home for Christmas
Lifts his head up off his paws
Tail wagging on the concrete floor
Oldest dog the rescues got
Little girl looks in every cage
Eyes light up soon as she sees
The pup that showed up yesterday
"Hey mama can we keep her please?"
It's closing time
December 23rd
They cut the lights
Guess it ain't his turn
He just wants a backyard full of snow
Spot on the couch to call his own
Name on a collar and a bowl
And someone putting something in it
To lie beside the fireplace
To have his picture in a frame
He's been a good boy everyday
Hey Santa if you're listening
He don't want a bone
He don't want to lick the dishes
He just wants a home
A home for Christmas
He don't need no stocking
Or some new chew toy wrapped
Save the bows
Save the boxes
He don't need all of that
But that sleighs already headed
Around the world and back
Just take him where he's wanted
Is that too much to ask?
'Cause he just wants a backyard full of snow
Spot on the couch to call his own
Name on a collar and a bowl
And someone putting something in it
To lie beside the fireplace
To have his picture in a frame
He's been a good boy everyday
Hey Santa if you're listening
He don't want a bone
He don't want to lick the dishes
He just wants a home
A home for Christmas
Hears a jingle on the door
Lifts his head up off his paws
December 24th
Finally hears that cage unlock
Now he jumps in a backyard full of snow
Up on a couch he calls his own
Names on a collar and a bowl
He never thought he'd get it
He lies beside the fireplace
Sees his picture in a frame
He'll be a good boy everyday
Hey Santa thanks for listening
And throwing him a bone
And checking off his wishlist
All he wanted was a home
A home for Christmas
