Jesus & Elvis
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 1] 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
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 2] Mama told them Jesus loves a sinner His daddy said that music saved his soul Between the drunkards and the band It's a fitting promise land For the King of Kings and the king of rock and roll
[Chorus] 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
[Bridge] 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
[Chorus] 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
[Outro] By and by, Lord, by and by
