Lyrics:
Snow’s fallin’ on the windshield, wipers keepin’ time,
Eighteen wheels rollin’ down this long, white line.
Shipper held me up for hours, loadin’ up the sleigh,
Dispatch calls, “One more stop,” but I’m headin’ home today.

Every mile feels longer when the lights are strung with cheer,
Radio’s playin’ carols, but it’s hard to feel it here.
I’m chasin’ that Christmas morning, where love and laughter wait,
Fightin’ through the chaos just to make it home by eight.

‘Cause I’m out here on these highways,
Dodgin’ traffic, fightin’ ice.
I’ll take on the world for my family,
Gotta make it there tonight.
With every shift and every turn,
This rig’s my only sleigh.
Bringing love to my front door
On this Christmas holiday.

Coffee’s gone cold in the cupholder, but I keep hangin’ on,
Tail lights like a string of pearls, stretchin’ out so long.
Kids are waitin’ by the window, wife’s bakin’ in the kitchen,
Can almost taste her gingerbread, just gotta keep on wishin’.

Every sign says slow it down, but my heart’s in overdrive,
This diesel hums a lullaby, keepin’ my dreams alive.
If I can just cross state lines before the clock strikes midnight,
I’ll be under that tree with my family tonight.

‘Cause I’m out here on these highways,
Dodgin’ traffic, fightin’ ice.
I’ll take on the world for my family,
Gotta make it there tonight.
With every shift and every turn,
This rig’s my only sleigh.
Bringing love to my front door
On this Christmas holiday.

Dispatch calls again, “Where you at, my friend?”
But my GPS is set for home, this haul’s about to end.
They can wait till after Christmas, tonight’s about my kin,
No freight or deadline’s gonna win.

‘Cause I’m out here on these highways,
Dodgin’ traffic, fightin’ ice.
I’ll take on the world for my family,
Gotta make it there tonight.
With every shift and every turn,
This rig’s my only sleigh.
Bringing love to my front door
On this Christmas holiday.

And as I pull into the driveway, I see those twinkling lights,
The kids run out to greet me, hearts shining bright.
The road was long and lonely, but I made it home to stay,
This trucker’s Christmas wish came true today.
