Hometown Christmas

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bear Rinehart, Jon Foreman, & Judah Akers] Stoplights and the headlights Are a festive red, green and gold Procrastinating shoppers Caffeinated against the cold But there's nothing you can buy me It's your hand I wanna hold [Pre-Chorus: Bear Rinehart] There's miles between brothers Years between friends We'll all be together again [Chorus: Bear Rinehart] 'Cause you're not alone when The porch lights are shining It's your invitation to the love that's been waiting Singin', "Child, why don't you come on in?" It's a hometown Christmas [Verse 2: Bear Rinehart, Jon Foreman, & Judah Akers] The lights are on the houses And the trees are brought inside The parking spot at the local mall Is the hardest thing to find Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that the Christmas star Was in my daughter's eyes last night [Pre-Chorus: Jon Foreman] Yeah, 'cause there's miles between us Years between friends But we'll all be together again [Chorus: Jon Foreman] 'Cause you're not alone when Those porch lights are shining It's your invitation to the love that's been waiting One thing on my wishlist It's a hometown Christmas, yeah [Bridge: All] Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn king Hometown Christmas Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconcile Hometown Christmas [Verse 3: Bear Rinehart, Jon Foreman, & Judah Akers] Grandma's singing those Christmas songs That none of us have ever heard Us cousins, we'd be playing up 'Til dinner was served But the feeling that comes back to me Is hard to put into words [Pre-Chorus: Judah Akers] 'Cause there's miles between lovers Years between friends And we'll all be together again [Chorus: Judah Akers] 'Cause you're not alone when ('Lone when) The porch lights are shining (Shining) It's your invitation to a love that's been waiting So child, come on in [Chorus: Bear Rinehart] We're not alone when The porch lights are shining It's your invitation to a love that's been waiting Singin', "Child, won't you come on in?" It's a hometown Christmas It's a hometown Christmas [Outro: Jon Foreman & Judah Akers] Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn king
