Lyrics
Christmas Eve, eleven-forty, two hundred miles to go Worked doubles all December, didn't buy a thing, you know Pulled in at a truck stop, neon buzzin' over the pumps Kid in a Santa hat says "Rough year?" I said "Some." Grabbed a little red basket, walked every aisle twice Mama always said it's the thought, Lord, I hope she meant it tonight It's a gas station Christmas, all wrapped in a plastic sack A snow globe for Mama, scratch-offs for my dad Pine tree for my sister, rawhide for the hound It ain't much, but it's bringin' me back to town Last two Christmases I called and said the roads were bad Truth is I was ashamed of how little that I had Then she left a voicemail, didn't ask me for a thing Just "Midnight service, third row, son, you know the hymns we sing" Paid in wrinkled twenties, kid threw in a bow for free Said "They ain't waitin' on the presents, man, believe me" It's a gas station Christmas, all wrapped in a plastic sack A snow globe for Mama, scratch-offs for my dad Pine tree for my sister, rawhide for the hound It ain't much, but it's bringin' me back to town Hit the church lot at five till twelve, ran in with that bag Mama turned around in the third row And cried before I found the pew She said "Boy, what's all this?" I said "It's all they had" She said "Honey, all I wanted just walked in" It's a gas station Christmas, all wrapped in a plastic sack A snow globe for Mama, scratch-offs for my dad Best thing in that bag wasn't bought It was me, comin' home this time
