[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 nobody 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
