"Christmas Where I Come From" lyrics

I know that it's Christmas where I come from
It don't feel like Christmas where I am
All the love I've known, people made that house a home
They're so far away from this place that I've run
But I know that it's Christmas where I come from

I know that it's Christmas where I come from
It don't feel like Christmas where I am
Mama's not cooking, cousins aren't looking
To get into the booze till grandma hears
Somebody shooting off their mouth
Then from the edge of the couch
Tells us, "Be careful now"
Like when she used to ground
The whole gang of us for destroying her house

So deck the halls without me, it's all right
Maybe call me after dinner if there's time

I know that it's Christmas where I come from
It don't feel like Christmas where I am
All the love I've known, people made that house a home
They're so far away from this place that I've run
But I know that it's Christmas where I come from

It's not gonna snow here
Wish I had some reindeer and a sleigh
To get me home by Christmas Day

So I know that it's Christmas where I come from
It don't feel like Christmas where I am
All the love I've known, people made that house a home
They're so far away from this place that I've run
But I know that it's Christmas, yes I know that it's Christmas
I know that it's Christmas where I come from
