As recorded by Brad Paisley (From the 2025 Album SNOW GLOBE TOWN) [Intro] D Em A D [Verse 1]
D                                         Bm
I've been on the road for three weeks now playing sold out shows

Em                   D/F#      G           A
Driving back through Arkansas, we ran into snow

D                                  Bm
I thought I'd be there in time for dinner Christmas Eve

    Em                   D/F# G           A
But there's a jackknifed rig  blocking 40 East
[Chorus]
        D                             Em
Oh, but leave the Christmas lights on for me

A                           G          A Bm
I don't wanna spend it in a motel all alone

D                             Em
Leave the Christmas lights on for me

G                  D/F#         A               D     Em    A    D
Christmas won't be Christmas if I can't make it home
[Verse 2]
D                       Bm
I love what I do, but I hate the being gone

    Em                  D/F#                G                A
The thrill of Christmas morning's something I can't miss out on

         D                                 Bm
Tell the kids I'm bringing presents, and I swear I'm on my way

        Em                D/F#            G              A
But the way it's looking, I might have to hop in Santa's sleigh
[Chorus]
        D                             Em
Oh, but leave the Christmas lights on for me

A                           G          A Bm
I don't wanna spend it in a motel all alone

D                             Em
Leave the Christmas lights on for me

G                  D/F#         A               D
Christmas won't be Christmas if I can't make it home
[Bridge]
 F#m                            G
About the time I started losing hope

D          A/C#             Bm
Like a miracle, the weather broke

A                    Em
And they cleared the roads

A
Alright, here we go
[Instrumental Break] D Em A G A D Em G D A D [Chorus]
D                             Em
Leave the Christmas lights on for me

A                           G          A Bm
I ain't gonna spend it in a motel all alone

D                             Em
Leave the Christmas lights on for me

G                  D/F#         A               D
Christmas won't be Christmas if I can't make it home

        G                 D
Oh, but I'll be there for Christmas

    A             D
I'm gonna make it home
[Outro] D Em A G A D Em G D A D Em A G A D Em G D A D
