Packed my bag, my finals done
No ticket, no wheels, just chasin’ the sun
Held out my thumb on the interstate
Cold wind bit, but my heart felt great
First ride was a trucker named Joe
Said he missed his kids in Idaho
Played me Elvis on the dash
Told me Christmas flies by fast
Thumbin’ home for Christmas time
Every mile a different rhyme
Stories shared in borrowed seats
Hearts that meet on snowy streets
Didn’t know where I’d end that day
But love kept showin’ me the way
Next was a nurse in a beat-up van
Said she’d worked three shifts, barely ran
She gave me cocoa in a paper cup
Said “Christmas heals, but it still cuts up”
She talked of her mom who used to bake
Of candlelight and frozen lakes
And though her eyes were tired and red
She smiled like joy was just ahead
Thumbin’ home for Christmas time
Every mile a different rhyme
Stories shared in borrowed seats
Hearts that meet on snowy streets
Didn’t know where I’d end that day
But love kept showin’ me the way
Got picked up by a young Marine
Said he’d seen things I’d never seen
But Christmas made him feel brand new
Like peace was something he could do
He gave me gloves, said “stay warm, kid”
And told me things he never did
We sang along to Springsteen loud
Two strangers lost, but somehow proud
Last ride came from a man named Ray
Said he’d driven since Christmas Day
He missed his wife, she passed last year
But kept her photo on the mirror
He dropped me off at my old street
Said “go find joy, go feel complete”
I waved goodbye, then turned around
To see my folks and hear that sound
Those were the days, no fear, no phone
Just a thumb and hope to get back home
Now they’d say it’s far too wild
But back then, I was just a child
And every ride, each voice, each face
Was part of Christmas’s embrace
I didn’t know what I would find—
But I found love in every kind
Thumbin’ home for Christmas time
Every mile a different rhyme
Stories shared in borrowed seats
Hearts that meet on snowy streets
Didn’t know where I’d end that day
But love kept showin’ me the way
Now I sit by the fire’s glow
Thinkin’ of the long ago
And all those rides, and all those hearts—
That made my Christmas from the start

Thumb'en home

i hate walking in the dark when i'm walking home
there ain't a better place for me to feel alone
used up, i don't move much
you been clouding up my vision, you been blowing smoke
i let you closer than you should've gone
my mistake, i guess i should've known
now i'm supposed to flex like a price check
but you're like the devil, you gonna throw me to the flames, oh

nothing really matters anyway
and i don't want to play these fucking games no more
been running round in circles every day
and you been on and off for a while now
i'm not about to drop everything
yeah if i don't mean anything then I'm already gone
so turn the lights out, out 

i don't need nobody like you
i'm alone and i'm doomed
i don't need nobody like you
and i'm so sick from breathing in fumes
i don't need nobody like

i'm drinking out here in the valley staring at my phone
there ain't a better place for me to feel alone
three o' clock and i'm awake and glossy-eyed
you got me feeling so hot and cold 
baby i'm tryna hit you but you mixing signals
i'm mixing my liquor it's drowing my head cuz 
with every letter you send, i'm going insane
you got me feeling like i won't ever see the end, oh

nothing really matters anyway
you got me wrapped around your finger like a diamond ring
been running round in circles every day
and you been on and off for a while now
i'm not about to drop everything
yeah if i don't mean anything then i'm already gone
so turn the lights out, out 

i don't need nobody like you
i'm alone and I'm doomed
i don't need nobody like you
and I'm so sick from breathing in fumes
i don't need nobody like

my brain: spinning seven, eight shots deep
my heart: pumping venom through my body
wanna sleep but my eyes: bloodshot
who, who's this girl in my bed? It's not you

Nobody Like You
