Big old snowflakes are falling
My eyes are still misting
Thinking of past Christmas cheerI've been gone for so long
It's good to get back home
For Christmas in the country this yearWell, I'm back in the country for Christmas
Where the home fires are burning so clear
The family's together, the circle's unbroken
Back in the country for Christmas this yearThere's no time like the present
To say thanks to the good LordFor all these good gifts we share
We're all gathered together
'Round the old family Bible
To say thanks for Christmas this yearWell, I'm back in the country for Christmas
Where the home fires are burning so clear
The family's together, the circle's unbroken
Back in the country for Christmas this yearO the family's together, the circle's unbroken
Back in the country for Christmas this year
