Christmas Eve at the office,
tying up loose ends
Before going home to my family
My hearth and a few friends
Jumped on the freeway
Gee, what a mistake
I've sat here for hours
How long will this take?
Mama, when's Daddy gonna
get home?
I'm having Grid
lock Christmas
Gridlock Christmas
With people I don't even
know
Though friends and fam
ily can't be here
We'll have good old
Christmas cheer
And carols on the car radio.
Someone's built a bon
fire in the fast lane.
Folks gatherin' round its
cheery amber light.
They're all stranded just like me.
Oh, I'm pleased to be
Along the freeway singing
Silent Night
I'm having Grid lock
Christmas
With people I don't even know
No friends and family
can't be here
We'll have good old Christmas cheer
An d carols on the car
radio
People opening car trunks
filled with boxes
Presents bright and shiny
from the mall
Exchanging gifts, exchanging names
You know it's kind of strange
We're having a dandy Christmas after all
Dandy Christ mas
I'm having grid lock Christmas
We'll a good ol' Christmas
With people I don't
even know
No friends and family
can't be here
We'll have a good ol'
Christmas cheer
And carols on the car radio
That semi over there is
filled with groceries
That hot bed's loaded down
with Christmas trees.
And our motorhome has
an oven for the turkey.
It looks like we've got
everything we need!
You all know the words now,
so next time it comes around,
I want everybody to sing.
Okay? If I'm having grid
lock Christmas
That's very good!
With people I don't even know
You over there in the Edsels,
sing out!
friends and family can be here,
we'll have good ol' Christmas
Oh yes, I love it!
And carols on the car radio
And carols on the car radio
It's not Christmas
