Headed north for Christmas
For the very first time
Gonna meet my family
Gonna take you for a drive
Through my hometown
Show you around
Where I come from

Take a left on fifty-seven
So, you can see the lights
It's a small-town tradition
That brings Christmas to life
And I can't wait
To see your face in the glow

And I hope it snows on Christmas Eve
Like a winter wonderland in my parent's backyard
And I hope you know how much it means
To have you in the picture on our postcard
Holidays in the south is all you know
So, we're headed up north and I hope it snows

I'll admit I'm a little bit nervous
I pray your daddy likes me
That he sees beneath the surface
And I hope your mama's smiling
When I walk in
'Cause I'm just like him
When he met her

I can't wait to see it falling
On the evergreens
And watch your sister's daughter
Open presents under the tree
And stay up late
Till ol' Saint Nick
Is on the way

And I hope it snows on Christmas Eve
Like a winter wonderland in my parent's backyard
And I hope you know how much it means
To have you in the picture on our postcard
Holidays in the south is all you know
So, we're headed up north and I hope it snows

Make a little mistletoe magic
With an ol' Bing Crosby classic
Sitting by the fire
Looking out the window

And I hope it snows on Christmas Eve
Like a winter wonderland in my parent's backyard
And I hope you know how much it means
To have you in the picture on our postcard
Holidays in the south is all you know
So, we're headed up north and I hope it snows

Holidays in the south is all you know
So, we're headed up north and I hope it snows
