Pam Tillis & Kris Thomas - Two Kings lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

Two kings walk through memphis

One had a dream, one had a song

But each man brought a message of love

That lives on and on and on

And though that mississippi river

Can hardly hold our tears

The legacy they left us with

Would treasure through the years

Remembering 2 kings

Well they came out of 2 below

Shook the whole world up

With his jet black hair and his blue suede shoes

One look and it was love

And on that dark day at graceland

When it went to joe and his mother

We knew we’ve lost our rock and roll king

And there’ll never be another

[Chorus]

Two kings walk through memphis

One had a dream, one had a song

Though they’re walking with the angels now

The memories live on

And though that mississippi river

Still flows with our tears

The legacy they left us with

Would treasure through the years

Talking about two kings

He walked the streets of memphis

With a bible in his hands

And the kind that let a dream of

Some couldn’t understand

And with no more than a single shot

His work on earth was done

But he showed us the way to the promise land

And we must keep marching on

There are thoughts that fly away

Set the world to light from dark

Songs and dreams are just like ...

When those tears from all above

They still ... of love

Oh, he took us to the mountain

Whoa, he sang away our pain

2 kings gone and yet the song and dream remain

Two kings walk through memphis

Two kings touched our souls

One man had a vision

And one man came to rock and roll

And that mississippi river

Still flows with our tears

Now I’m just gonna carry on

Celebrate the years

Respect the two kings, two kings.
