"North Pole" lyrics

"North Pole"

It still has the tinsel and the mistletoe
It still has my family, they still call it home
My name on a stocking hung up on a tack
Christmas is Dallas, but I can't go back

I try to get along here in Nashville, Tennessee
I hang up a Texas star on my tree
And I picture my mother making cream chipped beef
Christmas is Dallas, but it ain't there for me

Three sisters in pajamas at the top of the stairs
Mom and Dad saying, y'all wait right there
Last year we helped them pack up that house
Yeah, Christmas is Georgia, but it ain't there right now

Ohh, it's as far away as the North Pole
Ohh, if the lights would come on, then I'd go
I'd go, I'd go

Snow if we're lucky, falls the night before
What I wouldn't give for one memory more
Of me being little and her being mine
Christmas in Massachusetts been gone a long time

Ohh, it's as far away as the North Pole
Ohh, if the lights would come on, then I'd go
I'd go, I'd go

Had a couple of kids, gave them family names
We hang on to things that we won't let change
People grow old, but love never leaves
Christmas is right here if you just believe
