Another Christmas day
Will come and go away
But I got so far to go
But I wanna go home
I need to go home
Maybe surrounded by
Strangers and Christmas lights
I shouldn’t feel so alone
But I wanna go home
God I miss you, you know
I can close my eyes and see the angel on the tree
A blanket of snow outside
And all my friends and family
And though I know that you’re no farther than a call away
I need to see your face
A call could never be the same
Another Christmas day
Will come and go away
And I wont leave you alone
And I wanna go home
I’ve got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just to far from where you are
And I wanna go home
[Guitar solo]
Now the reasons I’m so far away ain’t good enough
What ever they need me for
I know that I need you more
So I’ll do the things I got to do to get back to you
I need you to believe
I’ll make it back by Christmas eve
Another Christmas day will come and go away
And I wont leave you alone
No I’m gonna go home
I’m gonna be home
Though I’m surrounded by
This cold December night
I feel so alone
I’m gonna go home
Babe, I miss you you know
Let me go home
I’ve had my run baby I’m done
I’m coming back home
Let me go home
It’ll all be alright
When I’m holding you tight
Cause this Christmas I’m home
Longing for Belonging: The Heart of “Home”
Blake Shelton’s “Home” is a stirring ballad about yearning for the comfort and warmth of loved ones, especially during the holiday season. The lyrics capture the feeling of isolation, even when surrounded by festive lights and strangers, and highlight the deep emotional pull of home. The recurring plea to “go home” underscores the universal desire to reconnect with those who matter most, particularly when distance and obligations keep us apart. The song’s imagery—snow, an angel on the tree, and the anticipation of Christmas Eve—evokes nostalgia and hope, reflecting the bittersweet mix of longing and determination to reunite with loved ones.
