Johnny?s Coming Home for Christmas

Words and Music

Johnny?s coming home for Christmas
and we?re gonna have a hell of a time
he?s been gone for so long
but he?s flying back home tonight

Well, Johnny he?s a soldier
he?s been giving it all his might
missing his friends and his family
his little baby and his wife

we?re gonna rock till the cows come home
we?re gonna shake, we won?t leave him alone
he?s been gone, so far away
we?re gonna have a party, night and day

Johnny?s coming home for Christmas
You know it seems like yesterday
he and his buddies were riding their bikes
and dreaming their lives away

he dreamed about being a doctor
he dreamed about being a star
he dreamed about fighting fires
and playing music in a bar

we?re gonna rock till they all come home
we?re gonna shake, we won?t leave ?em alone
he?s been gone, so far away
but now he?s coming back here to stay

Johnny?s coming home for Christmas
we?ll salute him all through town
we?re gonna carry him on our shoulders
and we won?t make a single sound

Johnny?s coming home for Christmas
Johnny?s coming home for Christmas
and we?re going to lay him down
