G                            
I'm driving home for Christmas
G           C                             
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
       G                            
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
G           C                             
Well I'm moving down that line

         Bm     Em    Am      
And it's been so long
    D    
But I will be there
  Bm       Em    Am  
I sing this song
   D             Bm 
To pass the time away
Em           Am 
Driving in my car
D                G

           C                  
It's gonna take some time

But I'll get there
G                                
Top to toe in tailbacks
          C                              
Oh, I got red lights all around
    G                                   
But soon there'll be a freeway
       C                              
Get my feet on holy ground

     Bm       Em   Am 
So I sing for you
       D                  Bm    
Though you can't hear me
           Em     Am    
When I get through
       D                 Bm 
Oh and feel you near me
Em           Am 
Driving in my car
     D                G            
I am driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas
 
                         G                 
With a thousand memories
 
                   C                           
I take look at the driver next to me
              G     
He's just the same
         C    
Just the same

About this song: Driving Home For Christmas

Written in 1978, Chris Rea wrote the lyrics on a difficult car journey home to Middlesborough (UK) from London. He was traveling back with his wife when they got stuck in traffic while snow was falling. Rea commented that he looked at other drivers and they "all looked so miserable", so bemused, he started to sing, "We're driving home for Christmas", and the lyrics flowed from there. The music to the lyrics came several years later and the track was first released as a B-side to "Hello Friend" in 1986. Read more on Last.fm.
