Christmas with the king
Music and lyrics by John Lee Sanders ©2010 ASCAP
December Night on a Tennessee back road
Hitchin a ride with the snow coming down
I cried lord, if you help me get home tonight
I’ll get my life back on track
I’m broke and busted with these Memphis blues
Frostbite from holes in my blue suede shoes
Just a beat up guitar and a long lost dream
Til a man pulled beside me in a long black limousine
So I climbed in the back, couldn’t see the drivers face
Like a mystery train going back through time and space
We rode through the darkness to a mansion on a hill
He turned and gave me that grin, man I knew it was him
I’ve been living in a frozen wasteland
Like an angel with a broken wing
Now I’m riding through the gates of graceland
Tonight boy it’s Christmas with the king
I heard the sweet inspirations, a soulful heavenly choir
go tell it on the mountain, jordanaires by the fire
singing swing down sweet chariot
Boy check out your brand new Cadillac
He must have been a rock and roll santa claus
with diamond rings and gold in his pack
He said I used to be a poor back in tupelo
When the December nights felt like 22 below
I used to shiver in that one room shack
When I saw you on the road the memory came back
Chorus
I’ve been blessed beyond my wildest fantasy
Every dream came true
And looking back on it all seems so clear
I owe it all to you
I’ll be your guardian angel on this cold winter’s night
You can live in a place called heartbreak hotel,
Or you can walk in the light
chorus
Now I’m standing at the gates of graceland,
Singing lord won't you shine a light,
to a poor boy, trying to do right
Sisters and brothers the message we sing,
joy to the world, good tidings we bring
Hallelujah, oh it’s Christmas with the king
