Margo Price Long Live The King
[Verse 1]
Elvis sang Willie Nelson
On the day that he died
"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"
With the pain inside
Took his pills and he went to bed
Heart attack's what the paper said
What I'd give just one more time to hear him sing
[Chorus]
But the King is dead
He's long gone
Long live the King
[Verse 2]
MLK was a Christian
He loved Ghandi, he loved girls
Grew up in segregation
But he saw another world
He marched and sang and stood for the poor
[?] the fight but against the war
But they murdered him like Christ 'cause he had a dream
[Chorus]
The King is dead
He's long gone
Long live the King
[Verse 3]
They gunned down John Lennon
On a cold winter night
Outside of the Dakota
In the middle of his prime
Put hims down for speaking the truth
He was a feminist and an asshole too
[?] common peace
[Chorus]
The King is dead
He's long gone
Long live the King
The King is dead
He's long gone
Long live the King
Long live the King
