下载 "Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas"

"Driving Home for Christmas" is a single written by Chris Rea and released in 1986 as a non-album single. The song peaked at #53 in the UK Single Chart in 1988, and re-entered the chart in 2007, peaking at #33. In a live interview on the BBC Radio 4 programme on 16 December 2009 Rea said he wrote "Driving Home for Christmas" many years before he first recorded it. His wife had come down to London to drive him home to Middlesbrough in her Austin Mini to save money because it was cheaper to drive than travel by train. Inspiration for the song came as she and Rea were stuck in heavy traffic heading out of London with a long drive to Middlesbrough ahead of them. Rea said "Driving Home for Christmas" is a "car version of a carol". Lyrics: I'm driving home for Christmas Oh, I can't wait to see those faces I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah Well, I'm moving down that line And it's been so long But I will be there I sing this song To pass the time away Driving in my car Driving home for Christmas It's gonna take some time but I'll get there Top to toe in tailbacks Oh, I got red lights all around But soon there'll be a freeway, yeah Get my feet on holy ground So I sing for you Though you can't hear me When I get through And feel you near me Driving in my car I'm driving home for Christmas Driving home for Christmas With a thousand memories I take look at the driver next to me He's just the same Just the same Top to toe in tailbacks Oh, I got red lights all around I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah Get my feet on holy ground So I sing for you Though you can't hear me When I get through Oh and feel you near me Driving in my car Driving home for Christmas Driving home for Christmas With a thousand memories I take look at the driver next to me He's just the same He's driving home, driving home Driving home for Christmas...
