Silver Bells and Country Miles

City lights are gleamin' down busy streets People rushin' by with no time to meet Skyscrapers shining, dressed up in cheer But there's a part of me that's missin' here Give me silver bells and country miles A quiet road where I can drive a while Starry skies and a winter breeze Where the world slows down, and my soul feels free Silver bells and country miles, that's Christmas to me Got a tree on every corner, and garlands high But I miss the view of that open sky Where fields lay still under moonlight's glow And there's room to breathe as the cold winds blow Give me silver bells and country miles A quiet road where I can drive a while Starry skies and a winter breeze Where the world slows down, and my soul feels free Silver bells and country miles, that's Christmas to me I love the city's holiday scene But there's somethin' 'bout those pine trees green Where the only lights are the stars above And the air is filled with a quiet love So I'll take my time on this long back road Where memories of home start to unfold From city steel to the fields of grace I'm headin' back to my favorite place Now the snow starts fallin' on that old dirt lane Each flake a reminder of what still remains Of family fires and voices kind Waiting for me at the county line Give me silver bells and country miles A quiet road where I can drive a while Starry skies and a winter breeze Where the world slows down, and my soul feels free Silver bells and country miles, that's Christmas to me Yeah, silver bells and country miles Leaving the rush for a peaceful smile There's no place I'd rather be Than under the stars where my heart runs free
