kenny chesney – jesus and elvis lyrics
[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 off to fight on christmas eve
in a war n-body 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
