FROM THE SUN YEARS
OF THE FIFTIES
AND THE BIRTH
OF ROCK AND ROLL
MILLIONS SCREAMED
TO SEE HIM DO HIS THING
ELVIS TOUCHED THE LIFE
OF EVERY EAR
THAT HEARD HIM
AND THEY COULDN'T HELP
BUT LISTEN
WHEN HE SANG
IT'S A LONG WAY
FROM MEMPHIS TO THAT
MANSION IN THE SKY
BUT HE KEPT HIS FAITH
IN JESUS ALL ALONG
IT'S A LONG WAY
FROM GRACELAND
ACROSS JORDAN
TO THE PROMISED LAND
BUT JESUS
FINALLY CAME
TO LEAD HIM HOME
4 BAR
BREAK
FROM THE DAYS
OF LOVE ME TENDER
TO HIS MAMA'S
LAST FAREWELL
SOME SAY HE KNEW
HOW LONG
HE HAD TO STAY
HIS LIFE
WAS TWO DAYS LONGER
THAN THE ONE
WHO GAVE HIM LIFE
AND HE ALMOST KNEW
THE NUMBER
OF THE DAY
IT'S A LONG WAY
FROM MEMPHIS TO THAT
MANSION IN THE SKY
BUT HE KEPT HIS FAITH
IN JESUS ALL ALONG
IT'S A LONG WAY
FROM GRACELAND
ACROSS JORDAN
TO THE PROMISED LAND
BUT JESUS
FINALLY CAME
TO LEAD HIM HOME
IT'S A LONG WAY
FROM MEMPHIS TO THAT
MANSION IN THE SKY
BUT HE KEPT HIS FAITH
IN JESUS ALL ALONG
IT'S A LONG WAY
FROM GRACELAND
ACROSS JORDAN
TO THE PROMISED LAND
BUT HE KEPT HIS FAITH
IN JESUS ALL ALONG
