30 foot fall - jesus, elvis, and richard petty lyrics
“well, you ain’t elvis” she said
had me scratching my head
one night at the dew drop inn
she was local and drunk
in a black whiskey funk
and i had yet to make a friend
she was yelling requests
and we was doing our best
just to remember what chords to play
she sat back in her booth
and starting laying down truth
in her ornery drunkneck way
well, then she laid out her list
with her voice like a fist
and she pointed it right at me
she said “elvis is king
do you know what i mean?
but he is only one of three
number one’s jеsus christ”
i thought “boy, this is nice”
she said “sonny boy, listen to mе.”
and it was “jesus and elvis and richard petty”
the holy singing racecar king!
jesus and elvis and richard petty
the holy singing racecar king
and i had to admire
the ????? and fire
ah, burning for the world to see
still, i’d trade them all for willie nelson
but n0body was asking me
still it was jesus and elvis and richard petty
the holy singing racecar king!
well, we finished our set
but she wasn’t done yet
and the next guy got ready to play
so he tuned his guitar
while she leaned on the bar
clearly she had some more to say
“play some skynyrd
quit messing around.” she said
“cuz you know that’s what we came to hear.”
i was so glad she finally stopped yelling at me
i was hiding behind my beer!
well, then the man played
“long haired country boy”
and the lady she started to sing
and it came from the heart
and smoothed over the part
where she forced on me “the big three”
yeah, the ones i would trade for willie nelson
but n0body was asking me
jesus and elvis and richard petty
the holy singing racecar king
jesus and elvis and richard petty
the holy singing racecar king
and i had to admire
the ????? and fire
ah, burning for the world to see
still, i’d trade them all for willie nelson
but n0body was asking me
jesus and elvis and richard petty
the holy singing racecar king
jesus and elvis and richard petty
the holy singing racecar king
jesus and elvis and richard petty
the holy singing racecar king
