(Anywhere But) Home For The Holidays – The Ballroom Thieves

I’ve been traveling
For as long as I remember I’ve been moving
And I missed so many holidays at home
Spent last Christmas sitting [?] alone

But this year
I haven’t moved since early April, I’ve just been here
Absorbing words and thoughts until they disappear
I’m so road sick, darling, I would need you anyway

It used to be
That there was nowhere I’d rather stay
But today
I wish I was anywhere

But home for the holidays
Home for the holidays

Snow’s been falling here
I’ll trade your plastic Rudolf
For an ice cold beer
Off the coast of Santa Clara
I need to get outta here
I wish I was anywhere

I wish that all the roses were blooming
I wish we all had somebody to love
I wish we would open our eyes
And march on and on and on and on
I wish you peace
I wish you peace
I wish I was anywhere
But home for the holidays
Home for the holidays
