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 ear
Rebel 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
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Ill meet you there
(rebel say a prayer)
Johnny 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 light
Baby 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 here
Rebel 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 me
So 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 prayer
And the cops are waiting down the street
They both know that theres no way out
Johnny pulls his gun
And all hell breaks loose
She cries ill remember this
As theyre cut down in the final kiss
Rebel 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 me
So 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 prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Above the stars tonight
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
If you dare
(rebel say a prayer)
Rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
And Ill meet you there
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Rebel say a prayer
(rebel say a prayer rebel say a prayer)
Ill meet you there
(rebel say a prayer)
Yeah
