There's a star spangled banner waiting somewhere
And it's waiting for you and for me
And that ole star spangled banner waits for glory
And it's waiting for the brave and the brief

(Well I trust in God because I know he cares for me)
Upon the land and upon his rolling sea
And that ole star spangled banner waits for glory
(And God gonna let it wave thru all eternity)

I trust in God because I know he cares for me
(Upon the land and upon his rolling sea)
(There's a old star spangled banner waits so glory)
And God gonna let it wave through out eternity
My God will let it wave through out eternity

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
