Dialogue: Where Could I Go But To The Lord / Up Above My Head / Saved (June 21 & 22, 1968) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

I like talking a little bit about music
Very little
There′s been a big change in the music field in the last ten or twelve years
You like that huh!
And I think everything has improved, the sound has improved and huh
The musicians have improved, the engineers have certainly improved
Huh
I like a lot of the new groups you know The Beatles and The Beards and huh, whoever
But I really like all of the new music
But a lot of it is basically, our music is basically, Rock And Roll music is basically
Godspell or Rhythm and Blues

Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptation so

I won't you to tell me where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh-ho where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul


Lord I′m neding a friend to save me in the end
I want you to tell me where could I go but to the Lord
I want you to tell me where could I go but to the Lord

Up above my head
There is music in the air
Up above my head
There is music in the air

Up above my head
There is music in the air, oh yeah!
And I really do believe
Really do believe
Really do believe there's a heaven somewhere

There's a heaven somewhere (Up above my head)

I wanna suit my heart
I wanna release my mind
I wanna pull my shoes and see what I can find
I wanna stand up tall and open my eyes
I wanna reach out my hand until I′m touching the sky
I was a poor lamb lost in a deep dark hole
But now I′ve found that light I'm gonna save my soul


I used to drink
I used to smoke
I used to smoke, drink and dance the Hoochy-coo
I used to smoke and drink
Smoke and drink and dance the Hoochy-coo
Oh-oh yeah
Well now I′m standin' on this corner prayin′ for me and you

That's why I′m saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout the kingdom come
You know I′m saved, I′m saved
Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I′m in that soul saving army beatin' on that big bass drum

I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to fuss, cuss, boggie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss and cuss and fuss and cuss and fuss and boggie all night long
Well now I′m standin' on this corner, I know right from wrong

That′s why I'm saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you ′bout the kingdom come
You know I′m saved, I'm saved
Well I can preach until you′re deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army beatin′ on that big bass drum

I used to lie, I used to cheat
I used to lie, cheat, step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and step on people′s feet
Well now I'm steppin' on to glory salvation in my beat

Because I′m saved, I′m saved
People let me tell you 'bout the kingdom come
I am saved, I am saved
Well I can preach until you′re deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin′ army beatin' on that big bass drum
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah
Oh, oh-oh
Ah, ah-ah
Oh, oh-oh
Ah, ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah
I′m in that soul savin' army beatin' on that big bass drum
Oh-ho yeah

Because I′m saved, I′m saved
People let me tell you 'bout the kingdom come
You know I′m saved, I'm saved
Well I can preach until you′re deaf and dumb
I'm saved, I am saved, I′m saved
