Jöjjön ismét egy kis zenés feladat, ezúttal Chris Rea segítségével. 

Chris Rea: “Driving Home for Christmas”

I’m driving home for Christmas

Oh, I can’t wait to see those faces

I’m driving home for Christmas, yea

Well I’m moving down that line

And it’s been so long

But I will be there

I sing this song

To pass the time away

Driving in my car

Driving home for Christmas

 

It’s gonna take some time

But I’ll get there

Top to toe in tailbacks

Oh, I got red lights on the run

But soon there’ll be a freeway

Get my feet on holy ground

 

So I sing for you

Though you can’t hear me

When I get through

And feel you near me

I am driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas

With a thousand memories

 

I take look at the driver next to me

He’s just the same

Just the same

 

Top to toe in tailbacks

Oh, I got red lights on the run

I’m driving home for Christmas, yea

Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you

Though you can’t hear me

When I get through

And feel you near me

Driving in my car

Driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas

With a thousand memories
