Lyrics Melissa Etheridge

Melissa Etheridge

Christmas in America

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 alright

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
