You Must Go Home For Christmas 4:12 (dp & robert morgan fisher)
I've always thought this was one of mine and Robert's best efforts, right up there with Mr Schwinn and Ring On My Hand. Julie Beaver added a nice harmony to go with Daryl S's violin.
lyrics
You Must Go Home For Christmas purpose/fisher
(E) By the (C)time that I'd hit Barstow, I quit (E)drinking
(C)The silent night was cold, the lights were (E)blinking
I (C#m)slept under a (A)public Christmas (E)tree
(A)Woke up feeling stiff, saw (B)my life was a gift
(A)Given ex(B)clusively to (E)me
I'm (A)going home for (E)Christmas, (A)thinking that I (E)should
(A)Go and see the (C#m)family, and (F#7)hope it's under(B)stood
That (A)when you wander (E)far away, from (A)your old neighbor(C#m)hood
You (A)must go home for (E)Christmas, You (A) must go home for (E)Christmas
(A)You must go (B)home, for (E)good
Well I met three men about half a mile from Vegas
Said this town was no place to spend Christmas
They offered me a ride in their old car
Said the answer that you seek, lies somewhere in the east
So I followed that rising morning star
I'm going home for Christmas, thinking that I should
Go and see the family, and hope it's understood
That when you wander far away, from your old neighborhood
You must go home for Christmas, You must go home for Christmas
You must go home, for good
By the time I made Missouri I'd decided
To reunite the family I'd divided
Try to find some peace here on this earth
Return to the city, of my nativity
Foster some good will for what it's worth
INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
In Bethlehem P.A. I shaved and showered
Called to say I'd be home in three hours
It sounded like the phone line had gone dead
But before I hung up, the other end spoke up
And tearfully I listened as she said
Please come home for Christmas, please come home for good
Come and see the family, cause now it's understood
That when you wander far away, from your old neighborhood
You must go home for Christmas, You must go home for Christmas
You must go home, for good
when you wander far away, from your own neighborhood
You must go home fro Christmas, You must go home for Christmas
You must go home, for good
