From Graceland To The Promised Land Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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
