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, 'cos 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, 'cos there's a place somewhere
Where rock 'n roll goes on and we'll be free
There's glory waiting there, can feel it in the air
Rebel say a prayer (rebel say a prayer, rebel say a prayer)
I'll meet you there (rebel say a prayer)
Johnny pulls her close, says I've got to go, 'cos 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
Chorus:
Rebel say a prayer, 'cos there's a place somewhere
Where rock 'n 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
(Instrumental break)
She cried out, remember this, as they got down in a final kiss
chorus
(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 I'll meet you there
(Rebel say a prayer, rebel say a prayer) Rebel say a prayer
(Rebel say a prayer, rebel say a prayer) I'll meet you there
(Rebel say a prayer) yeah
