In the midnight rain Johnny throws a stance
Says, "Love me tender, love me true"
And in the doorway there, she looks up at him
And she says, "You know I do"But Johnnys on the run, 'cause he stole a gun
He needs to disappear
Johnny shot a man and now hes scared
She whispers in his earRebel say a prayer
That theres a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And well be free
Theres glory waiting there
Can feel it in the air
Rebel say a prayer
Ill meet you thereJohnny pulls her close, says, "Ive got to go
'Cause theyll come for me tonight"
And he turns to leave but she wont let go
And they stand there in the lightBaby where you go, thats where I will go
Love never seemed so clear
If its the last thing in the world we do
Weve gotta get out of hereRebel say a prayer
That theres a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And well be free
Where Cadillacs have wings
A place where Elvis sings
For you and meSo baby take my hand
Well find the promised land
Above the stars tonight
Theres Graceland waitin there
Believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayerAnd the cops are waiting down the street
They both know that theres no way out
Johnny pulls his gun
And all hell breaks looseShe cries, "I'll remember this"
As they're cut down in the final kissRebel say a prayer
That theres a place somewhere
Where rock and roll goes on
And well be free
Where Cadillacs have wings
A place where Elvis sings
For you and meSo baby take my hand
Well find the promised land
Above the stars tonight
Theres Graceland waitin there
Believe it if you dare
And rebel say a prayerRebel say a prayer
Above the stars tonight
If you dare
Rebel say a prayer
And Ill meet you there
Rebel say a prayer
Ill meet you there, yeah
