Lyrics

[Intro]
Jesus didn't come in on a Hot Rod Sleigh
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Got a string of lights that won’t stay lit
A ladder leanin’ up against the wall
My wife says come on down from there
Before you slip and fall
There’s a fat man ridin’ on the roof
And a manger by the door
The lights tell me Christmas is here
But that manger means a whole lot more

[Chorus]
Jesus didn’t come in on a hot rod sleigh
Heaven had a different way
No chrome runners, no dashboard glow
No reindeer kickin’ up the snow
He came to us in Bethlehem town
The King of kings with no earthly crown
We can have our fun on Christmas Day
But Jesus didn’t come in on a hot rod sleigh

[Verse 2]
Some shepherds workin’ the midnight shift
Were watchin’ their flock that night
When an angel brought some mighty good news
And the sky filled up with light
They hurried down to Bethlehem
With a newborn King to find
They went to see what God had done
And left their sheep behind

[Chorus]
Jesus didn’t come in on a hot rod sleigh
Heaven had a different way
No chrome runners, no dashboard glow
No reindeer kickin’ up the snow
He came to us in Bethlehem town
The King of kings with no earthly crown
We can have our fun on Christmas Day
But Jesus didn’t come in on a hot rod sleigh

[Bridge]
No shiny suit, no grand parade
Just a child born where the hay was laid
He came to save the lost
From the manger to the cross

[Final Chorus]
Jesus didn’t come in on a hot rod sleigh
Heaven had a different way
No chrome runners, no dashboard glow
No reindeer kickin’ up the snow
He came to us in Bethlehem town
The King of kings with no earthly crown
We can have our fun on Christmas Day
But Jesus didn’t come in on a hot rod sleigh

[Outro]
Turn those Christmas lights up bright
Remember who was born that night
He’s the reason for Christmas Day
Jesus didn’t come in on a hot rod sleigh
