>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 ev'ry 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 fin'ly came to lead him home.
