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 Johnny?s on the run, 'cause he stole a gun   He needs to disappear   Johnny shot a man and now he?s scared   She whispers in his ear      Rebel say a prayer   That there?s a place somewhere   Where rock and roll goes on   And we?ll be free   There?s glory waiting there   Can feel it in the air   Rebel say a prayer   I?ll meet you there      Johnny pulls her close, says, "I?ve got to go   'Cause they?ll come for me tonight"   And he turns to leave but she won?t let go   And they stand there in the light      Baby where you go, that?s where I will go   Love never seemed so clear   If it?s the last thing in the world we do   We?ve gotta get out of here      Rebel say a prayer   That there?s a place somewhere   Where rock and roll goes on   And we?ll be free   Where Cadillacs have wings   A place where Elvis sings   For you and me      So baby take my hand   We?ll find the promised land   Above the stars tonight   There?s 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 there?s no way out   Johnny pulls his gun   And all hell breaks loose      She cries, "I'll remember this"   As they're cut down in the final kiss      Rebel say a prayer   That there?s a place somewhere   Where rock and roll goes on   And we?ll be free   Where Cadillacs have wings   A place where Elvis sings   For you and me      So baby take my hand   We?ll find the promised land   Above the stars tonight   There?s Graceland waitin? there   Believe it if you dare   And rebel say a prayer      Rebel say a prayer   Above the stars tonight   If you dare   Rebel say a prayer   And I?ll meet you there   Rebel say a prayer   I?ll meet you there, yeah
