I don't care if there's nothing under the Christmas tree for me
And I don't mind if my stocking's full of coal or just empty
'Cause everything I want this year is all wrapped up and standing here
Right in front of me

I walked through the snow where it's not even low
Save me a spot under the mistletoe
Coast through the night on the slippery ice
Should've taken my friends' advice

I took planes, trains, and automobiles
Anything with wings or wheels
Whatever it takes to get me home to you
I gotta get back by Christmas
Gotta get back by Christmas, you know!

We spent most of the last year living a thousand miles apart
Now I need you to hold me close and thaw my frozen heart
I tried to take a red eye flight, we got snowed in overnight
I spent the night asleep on the airport floor

Then I walked through the snow where it's not even low
Save me a spot under the mistletoe
I drove through the night on the slippery ice
Should've taken my friends' advice

I took planes, trains, and automobiles
Anything with wings or wheels
Whatever it takes to get me home to you
I gotta get back by Christmas, yeah

I know I promised I'd be back before New Year
I'll be coming down the chimney, don't you fear
Whisper in your ear

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get back
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get back

I don't care if there's nothing under the Christmas tree for me
Holding you in my arms is all the Christmas cheer I need

I walked through the snow where it's not even low
Save me a spot under the mistletoe
I drove through the night on the slippery ice
Should've taken my friends' advice

I took planes, trains, and automobiles
Anything with wings or wheels
Whatever it takes to get me home to you
Gotta get back by Christmas
(Gotta get back by Christmas)
I gotta get back by Christmas
(Gotta get back by Christmas)
