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
 Beneath the neon cross and the string of Christmas lights
 Lola built this joint in '67
 And her boy went off 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
 Lola told him Jesus loves a sinner
 And his daddy told him music saved his soul
 Between the drunkards and the band
 It's a fittin' promised land
 For the King of Kings and the king of rock-n-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
 Beneath the neon cross and the string of Christmas lights
 It's good to be back again
 Oh me and my old friends
 Beneath the neon cross and a string of Christmas lights
 By and by, Lord, by and by
 By and by, Lord, by and by
 So if you need a shot of Dickel or 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
