Change in my strings by the TV light
Someone walks past my room, whistling silent night
The moon's on the rise, and it's silent alright
Here at the highway Inn
Down at the club, everyone is feeling fine
The band's set to hit about a quarter past nine
It's all friends and family, but none of their mind
'Cause I'm on the road again
It's a bluesman's Christmas, everyone is just the same
Bluesman's Christmas, I'm still trying to quit my name
Bluesman's Christmas, 'cause this is what I do
Let me play the blues
Let this be my gift to you
Oh, woman, I know this is hard on you too
Oh, I'm sad I'm not there to spend Christmas with you
But when I come home, girl, you've got loving to do
Please, won't you say it's alright?
'Cause you know I believe, and I hope, and I pray
That all of this work is gonna pay off someday
And then you and me, we can just fly away
Please, kiss the baby's goodnight
'Cause it's a bluesman's Christmas, everyone is just the same
Bluesman's Christmas, I'm still trying to quit my name
It's a bluesman's Christmas 'cause this is what I do
Let me play the blues
This will be my gift to you
It's a bluesman's Christmas, 'cause this is what I do
Let me play the blues
This will be my gift to you
Merry Christmas
Oh, Merry Christmas to you
