Saved (Part 2, Gospel #3, Takes 2 & 4) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

(You said I used to drink)

Section three, take two

(One, two, three, four)
(One, two)

I used to drink, I used to start all over

Gospel section three, take four

(One, two, three, four)
(One, two)

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
But now I′m standin' on this corner
A-prayin′ for me and you


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

I used to cuss
I used to fuss
I used to fuss, cuss
And boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss
And cuss and fuss and cuss and boogie all night long
Ah, ah, yeah
Well now I'm standin' on this corner
I know right from wrong

That′s why I′m saved (saved)
I'm saved (saved)
People let me tell you ′bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved (saved)
I′m saved (saved)
Well, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I′m in that soul savin' 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
Oh, oh, yeah
Well, now I'm steppin′ on to glory
Salvation is my beat

Because I'm saved (saved)
I′m saved (I'm saved)
People let me tell you ′bout a kingdom come
I am saved (I'm saved)
Oh, yeah (I'm 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, oh, yeah, ah

Ha ha ha ha
Ho ho ho ho
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha

Ho ho ho
I'm saved
Ho ho ho
I′m saved

I'm in that soul savin′ army
Beatin' on that big bass drum
Oh, oh, yeah

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

I said I'm saved
