Place By The Fire

[Verse 1]

You left the porch light on again

I know that little yellow flame

The cold can knock, the wind can brag

But your old welcome never changed

[Chorus]

I’m coming home for the holidays

Past the frosted fields and the county line

Put the kettle on, let the good times stay

There’s a place by the fire and it’s yours and mine

Hey, let the sleigh bells ring outside

We’ve got all night, we’ve got all night

[Verse 2]

The train rolls late, the platform’s thin

My suitcase has a busted wheel

I’m done with rushing just to fit

Into somebody else’s idea of real

[Rap Verse]

I took the long road, boots full of snow

Two missed turns, still knew where to go

You saved me a plate, kept the chair pulled wide

No grand parade, just you inside

So let the cold talk, let the clock complain

I’ve got your laugh and a windowpane

A little red ribbon, a pie gone brown

Best kind of rebel is the one who comes ’round

[Chorus]

I’m coming home for the holidays

Past the frosted fields and the county line

Put the kettle on, let the good times stay

There’s a place by the fire and it’s yours and mine

Hey, let the sleigh bells ring outside

We’ve got all night, we’ve got all night

[Outro]

The fire burns low, the old house sings

Your hand in mine, the whole room warms

I’m home tonight, I’m home tonight

Let the winter keep its storms
