Gridlock Christmas

Christmas Eve at the office, tying up loose ends

'Fore going home to my family, my hearth, and a few friends

Jumped on the freeway, gee, what a mistake

I've sat here for hours, how long will this take?

Mama, when's Daddy gonna get home?

I'm having gridlock Christmas

With people I don't even know

Though friends and family can't be here

We'll have good old Christmas cheer

(Gridlock Christmas)

And carols on the car radio

Someone's built a bonfire in the fast lane

Folks gathering round its cheery, amber light

They're all stranded just like me, oh, what a place to be

Huddled on the freeway, singing Silent Night

I'm having gridlock Christmas

With people I don't even know

Though friends and family can't be here

We'll have good old Christmas cheer

(Gridlock Christmas)

And carols on the car radio

People opening car trunks filled with boxes

Presents bright and shiny from the mall

Exchanging gifts, exchanging names

You know, it's kind of strange

We're having a dandy Christmas after all

I'm having gridlock Christmas

With people I don't even know

Though friends and family can't be here

We'll have good old Christmas cheer

(Gridlock Christmas)

And carols on the car radio

That semi over there is filled with groceries

(Gridlock Christmas)

That flatbed's loaded down with Christmas trees

And our motor home has an oven for the turkey

Looks like we've got everything we need

(Gridlock Christmas)

You all know the words now, so next time it comes around

I want everybody to sing, okay?

Yes, I'm having gridlock Christmas (That's very good)

With people I don't even know (You over there in the Edsel, sing out)

Though friends and family can't be here

We'll have good old Christmas cheer

(Oh yes, I love it)

And carols on the car radio

(Sing)

And carols on the car radio

(Gridlock Christmas)
