Songtext von Jesus And Elvis

Jesus and Elvis, painted on velvet Hanging at the bar here every night It's good to be back again, oh, me and my old friends 'Neath the neon cross and a string of Christmas lights Lola built this joint in sixty-seven And her boy went out to fight on Christmas eve In a war nobody won, she lost her only son Now everything he loved is what you see Jesus and Elvis, painted on velvet Hanging at the bar here every night It's good to be back again, oh, me and my old friends 'Neath the neon cross and a string of Christmas lights Mama told them Jesus loves a sinner His daddy said that music saved his soul Between the rockers and the band It's a fitting promise land For the kings of kings and the king of rock and roll Jesus and Elvis, painted on velvet Hanging at the bar here every night It's good to be back again, oh, me and my old friends 'Neath the neon cross and a string of Christmas lights So if you need a shot of whiskey and redemption Where the delta meets the sea of Galilee Get washed in the blood of the Mississippi mud Come all you non-believers and you'll see Jesus and Elvis, painted on velvet Hanging at the bar here every night It's good to be back again, oh, me and my old friends 'Neath the neon cross and a string of Christmas lights It's good to be back again, oh, me and my old friends 'Neath the neon cross and a string of Christmas lights 'Neath the neon cross and a string of Christmas lights By and by, Lord, by and by
