"When The Rain Turns To Snow" lyrics

Looking out the window
I can see the tops of buildings
So much taller than you'd ever see back home
Driving through the driving rain
The city lights all look the same
And all it means is one more night alone
It's not so bad in summer
But December makes me wonder
How a country boy could feel more out of place
Traffic lights and foreign cars
Plastic smiles in crowded bars
I'd trade it all for one familiar place

But when the rain turns to snow
And all the city shops are filled
With toys and mistletoe
That's when I'll be on my way
When the rain turns to snow
I'll be home on Christmas Day

Staring at the ceiling
In my room, I get the feeling
That there's nothing in this town that's worth my time
Every night I'm here, I dream
Of country roads and mountain streams
But most of all the one I left behind

But when the rain turns to snow
And all the city shops are filled
With toys and mistletoe
That's when I'll be on my way
When the rain turns to snow
I'll be home on Christmas Day
When the rain turns to snow
I'll be home on Christmas Day
