There's a New Kid in Town

(Curly Putman - Don Cook - Keith Whitley)

Alan Jackson & Keith Whitley



We're looking for the King

The new Messiah

We're following the star

Shining brighter

Old man won't you help us if you can

He shook his head

But he pointed his hand.



There's a new kid in town

And he's lying in a manger down the road

There's a new kid in town

But he's just another baby I suppose

Heaven knows

There's a new kid in town

Here in Bethlehem.



I see you've traveled far

Bearing treasures

You say these gifts are for

The new King's pleasure

Well I've heard

That a King might come

But up 'til now there hasn't been one.



There's a new kid in town

And he's lying in a manger down the road

There's a new kid in town

But he's just another baby I suppose

Heaven knows

There's a new kid in town

Here in Bethlehem.

There's a new kid in town

And he's lying in a manger down the road

There's a new kid in town

But he's just another baby I suppose

Heaven knows

There's a new kid in town

Here in Bethlehem...
