lyrics

Winters come
Wind is blowing at the door and
my van won't start on this cold
Christmas morning

Cause the coolant is leaking out onto the snow
It looks like the head gaskets pretty well blown

I'm not driving anywhere tonight
How can I get home for Christmas ?
I bet Jessie's swigging down the eggnog
and Amanda is eating all apple pie

The turkey will be sitting there cold on the plate

Darnit, I'm going who cares if I'm late!
Leave the car in the driveway, let's open the shed
I throw my legs over my bike's steel frame
I'm biking home for Christmas

Ok it’s about 30 below outside
And there’s a ton of snow on the ground
Mom’s house is pretty far away
So I’m going to have to put on my long johns for this one
Maybe a couple put on my extra thick socks

The turkey will be sitting their cold on the plate
Darnit, I'm going who cares if I'm late!
I throw my legs over my bike’s steel frame
See you soon mom, I love you always
I'm biking home for Christmas

I'm biking home for Christmas
