Merle Haggard «From Graceland To The Promised Land». ТЕКСТ ПЕСНИ

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

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 days

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 Jesus finally
came to lead
him home
