Time For Me To Come Home
Blake Shelton · Other Songs - Blake Shelton
And lights are on display
There's a big ol' tree for all to see
Where the children run and play
I look out through my window
Somethin' just don't seem right
'Til I said hello and heard her voice
On the other end of the line
Now it's Christmas, Christmas, I'm hurryin' on my way
Christmas, Christmas, like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone
Mama just called and said it's time for me to come home
The pies are in the oven
You can almost taste the air
And it warms my heart to feel her love
And know how much she cares
It's funny how going back
Can get you back to where you belong
It's the difference in just a melody
And my favorite Christmas song
Now it's Christmas, Christmas, I'm hurryin' on my way
Christmas, Christmas, like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone
Mama just called and said "it's time for you come on home"
Mama just called and said "it's time for you to come home"
Time For Me To Come Home
Blake Shelton's 'Time For Me To Come Home' captures the weary sentiment of a traveler ready to settle down, a recurring theme in his extensive country discography. Released during a period where Shelton was solidifying his status as a mainstream country icon, the track reflects his signature blend of traditional storytelling and modern production. While Shelton is often associated with upbeat party anthems, this recording offers a more introspective look at the emotional weight of leaving the road behind. The song fits seamlessly into his broader body of work, which frequently explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of life on the tour circuit. As a staple of his catalog, it remains a poignant reminder of the desire for stability that defines much of his musical output.
