[Verse 1]
I wanna soothe my my heart, I wanna ease my mind
I wanna move my shoes and see what I can find
I wanna stand up tall and open up my eyes
I wanna reach out my hand until I touch the skies
I was a poor lost lamb in a deep dark hole

[Verse 2]
But now I've found that light I'm gonna save my soul
I used to drink, I used to smoke
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochy-coo
I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink and dance the hoochy-coo
Oh yeah and now I'm standing on this corner praying for me and you

[Chorus]
I-I-I that's why I'm saved I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
You know I'm saved I'm saved
Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

[Verse 3]
I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to fuss, cuss, boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss, cuss and fuss
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
Well, now I'm standing on this corner, I know right from wrong

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
I used to lie, I used to cheat
I used to lie, cheat, steal from people's feet
I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and steal from people's feet
Well, now I'm stepping on to glory salvation in my beat

[Verse 5]
Because I'm saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
I am saved I'm saved
Well, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

[Verse 6]
I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum
Oh yeah, because I'm saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
You know I'm saved I'm saved
Well, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm saved, I'm saved I'm saved

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
