Christmas in America

by Melissa Etheridge [Songs of Ridge Road (2008)]


    Well, I picked out a tree
    And I tied it to the car
    There's a wreath up on our door
    Eight tiny reindeer in the yard

    I drove under the downtown lights
    Red an' green and blue
    The silver neon snowflakes
    Only made me think of you

    It's Christmas all around me
    You're in someone else's land
    So I'm sending out my only wish
    Hey Santa, tell the man

    Hey mister, send my baby home
    This December I don't wanna be all alone
    Oh, Christmas in America
    I need you in my arms
    Far away from harm
    Send my baby home

    I hear someone singin' Jingle Bells
    No wait that's Deck the Halls
    While the teenagers with candy canes
    Ramble through the malls

    The girls are down at Ruby's
    Trying to find some Christmas cheer
    There's not much to do but drink too much
    When everyday is unclear

    So here I am on Christmas eve
    This silent holy night
    And I reach up to the stars for you
    I pray that you're all right

    Hey mister, send my baby home
    This December I don't wanna be all alone
    Oh, Christmas in America
    I need you in my arms
    Far away from harm
    Mister, send my baby home

    What happened to the peace on earth?
    All that goodwill toward men?
    Oh come on all ye faithful
    It's time to think again

    Hey mister, send my baby home
    This December I don't want to be all alone
    Oh, come on, come on, come on
    Hey mister, send my baby home
    This December I don't want to be all alone

    Send my baby home, send my baby home
    Send my baby home, send my baby home
    Come on, send my baby home, send my baby home
    Send my baby home, send my baby home

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah oh, come on, come on
    Yeah yeah oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah, oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Send my baby home, send my baby home
    Come on send my baby home, send my baby home
