My family called me on the phone and said   "Grandpa would you come home?"   We'd love to have you here on Christmas day   We know you won't get on a plane   But grandpa you can ride a train   You can see the scenery along way"      Going home for Christmas   Coming on a train   Got my big red knapsack loaded down   Going home for Christmas   Coming on a train   Soon, I'll be rolling into town      I know everybody there will be happy   And they'd be down to meet me   When they hear the whistle sound   I know my one-horse stage will be waiting   On the choo-choo bringing Santa Claus to town      Going home for Christmas   Coming on a train   Got my big red knapsack loaded down   Going home for Christmas   Coming on a train   Soon, I'll be rolling into town      Going home for Christmas   Coming on a train   Got my big red knapsack loaded down   Going home for Christmas   Coming on a train   Soon, I'll be rolling into town      Going home for Christmas   Hey, so good to see you all
