  • There's music in the city
    And the lights are on display
    There's a big old tree for all to see
    Where the children run and play

    I look out through my window
    Somethin' just don't seem right
    TiIl I said hello and heard her voice
    On the other end of the line

    Now it's Christmas, Christmas I'm hurrying' on my way
    Christmas, Christmas, like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
    Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone
    Mama just called and said it's time
    For me to come home

    The pies are in the oven
    You can almost taste the air
    And it warms my heart to feel her love
    And know how much she cares
    It's funny how going back can get you back where you belong
    It's the difference between in just a melody and my favorite Christmas song

    Now, it's Christmas, Christmas I'm hurrying' on my way
    Christmas, Christmas, like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
    Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone
    Mama just called and said, it's time for you to come home
    Mama just called and said, it's time for you to come home Writer/s: BLAKE SHELTON, DOROTHY SHACKLEFORD
