[00:00.500](feat. Dorothy Shackleford)
[00:10.200]There's music in the city
[00:14.200]And lights are on display
[00:18.150]There's a big ol tree for all to see
[00:22.200]where the children run and play
[00:26.050]I look out through my window
[00:30.100]Somethin' just don't seem right
[00:33.160]Til I said hello and heard her voice
[00:37.200]On the other end of the line
[00:41.150]Now it's christmas, christmas I'm hurrying' on my way
[00:49.100]Christmas, Christmas, like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
[00:56.150]Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone
[01:04.100]Mama called and said it's time for me come on home
[01:14.150]The pies are in the oven
[01:17.100]you can almost taste the air
[01:21.050]It warms my heart to feel her love
[01:25.100]and know how much she cares
[01:29.050]It's funny how going back can get you back to where you belong
[01:36.050]it's the difference between just a melody and my favorite christmas song
[01:44.100]Now, it's christmas, christmas I'm hurrying' on my way
[01:52.150]Christmas, Christmas, like I'm riding in a one horse sleigh
[01:59.200]Well, I don't have to hear no jingle bells, just the ringing of the phone
[02:07.200]Mama called and said "it's time for You to come home"
[02:15.100]Mama just called and said "it's time for you to come home"
