"Elvis Presley Blues"

"Elvis Presley Blues"


I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

Just a country boy that combed his hair
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
And he shook it like a Harlem Queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
Like you never seen, you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

How he took it all out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake, his soul at stake

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
When he shook it and he rang like silver
He shook it and he shine like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul, bless my soul

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?

"End Of The Road"

"End Of The Road"


Well the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
Well the stars may not shine
Neither the moon
What the heck we don't want no moon
I'm waiting at the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Pull out the front, don't give me no sass
Take your foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Oh! the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Flip out the front, don't give me no sass
Take your foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Well the way is dark
The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting at the end of the road

"Endlessly"

"Endlessly"


Higher than the highest mountain
And deeper than the deepest sea
That's how I will love you, oh, darling, endlessly

Softer than the gentle breezes
And stronger than the wild oak tree
That's how I will hold you, oh, darling, endlessly

Oh, my love, you are my heaven
You are my kingdom, you are my crown
Oh, my love, you're all that I prayed for
You were made for these arms to surround

Faithful as a morning sunrise
And sacred as a love can be
That's how I will love you, oh darling, endlessly

Darling, endlessly
Darling, endlessly

"Everybody Loves A Train"

"Everybody Loves A Train"


A long time down away on Eastside, Southside,
Los Angeles, Detroit, America, U.S.A.
Sittin' right about here watchin' high heels
And sneakers tread concrete platform headin' straight
For who knows where and why and how come

Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a-comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

I'm thinkin' in sick brain,
"Say man, where you goin' with all those stories
Wrapped up in suitcase and handbags and old rags?"
Says, "I can't stay, but the 12:40's got my name."
Well it goes without sayin', everybody loves a train

Steel whistle blowin' a crazy round and round
Jump on a car when she comes around
Steel whistle blowin' a crazy round and round
Jump on a car when she coming around
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a-comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

Just goes without saying that everybody loves a train
Go ahead and call us insane, but we all just love a train
We love a train
Yeah, we love a train...

"Factory Girl"

"Factory Girl"


Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere
We get buses everywhere
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat
Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
Her zipper's broken down the back
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night
She's a sight for sore eyes
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress
Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet
She ain't come out yet
Waiting for a factory girl

"Feels Like Music"

"Feels Like Music"


Day trippin', so reapin'
Girl in a rock and roll band
Lights out, so loud
Better than you ever had

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
Coming back again

Shake down, take down
Knocking to a different beat
One touch, head rush
Drop it one more time for me

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

Well, If you're wired by the sound
And you want to sing it out, sing it!
Yes, If you're wired by the sound
And you want to shake it down, shake it!

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

Midnight, so fine
I love the way you twist and turn
Don't fight, hold tight
Baby, let it burn, let it burn

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
And coming back again

Day trippin', so reapin'
Girl in a rock and roll band
Lights out, so loud
Better than you ever had

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
Coming back again

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

Shake down, take down
Knocking to a different beat
One touch and head rush
Drop it one more time for me

Feels like music
Pumpin' trough your veins
Feels like music
And coming back again

Feels like music
Like you ain't never heard
Feels like music
All around the world

"Field Of Yellow Daisies"

"Field Of Yellow Daisies"


We met in a field of yellow daisies
Wild and young and free
And she picked a bouquet for me
She loved me...she loved me not
The daisies didn't lie
They knew better than I...she'd go away..yeah
But they didn't say why
Have you ever been in a field of yellow daisies
Where the air is warm, pure and sweet
Just as if the world is at your feet
She loved me...she loved me not
The daisies didn't lie
They knew better than I
She'd go away.....yeah
But they didn't say why
I may fail like petals from a daisy
But for her love I'll always yearn
Each year when yellow daisies return
She loved me...she loved me not
The daisies didn't lie
They knew better than I
She'd go away.....yeahhhh
But they didn't say why
They didn't say why
They didn't say why
They didn't say why
They didn't say why
They didn't say why
They didn't say why...

"Fly Away"

"Fly Away"


The rain is falling down
My life has just begun
'Cause you shine a light
To make me come alive

And when the moon
Holds a candle in the sky
I wanna be with you
Together through the night

Why don't we fly away
Hand in hand against the sky
Why don't we fly away, you and I

Fly away to a place
Where our dreams will never die
Why don't we fly away, alone

Let's fly away, far far away
Let's fly away

I wouldn't wanna go to heaven
Without you by my side
You're my angel
You're my guiding line

Now that we've come this far
To reach this paradise
Supernatural is love, is right

Why don't we fly away
Hand in hand against the sky
Why don't we fly away, you and I

Far away to a place
Where the time is on our side
Why don't we fly away
Long gone, long gone

Let's fly away, let's fly away alone
Let's fly away alone

Why don't we fly away
Hand in hand against the sky
Why don't we fly away, you and I

Far away to a place
Where our dreams will never die
Why don't we fly away

Let's fly away alone, let's fly away alone
Let's fly away alone, let's fly away alone
Let's fly away, let's fly away
Let's fly away, let's fly away

Let's fly away, let's fly away
Let's fly away, let's fly away
Let's fly away, let's fly away
Let's fly away

"Fly Me To The Moon"

"Fly Me To The Moon"


Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring's like
On a-Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darlin', kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please, be true
In other words, darlin', I love you

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring's like
On a-Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
Please, in other words
Darlin', kiss me

You got to fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please, be true
In other words, in other words
Oh, baby, in other words
Baby, I love you, yeah!

"Fool For Rock'n'roll"

"Fool For Rock'n'roll"


I step into the light so you can clearly see
And I don't know the first thing about you
Here I stand before you, now what you make of me?
Do I measure up to what you want?
I been rollin' on the river too long

I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, maybe too long, too long
I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, maybe too long
I'm a fool for loving it 'cause you know I do, yes I do
I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, maybe too long, too long

Just take stock of your life, I hear him say to me
Now you've got your fortune and your fate
How long can things go on before they cease to be?
But you know that somethings never change
And I'll keep rollin' on the only way that I can

I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, maybe too long, too long
I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, maybe too long, too long
I'm a fool for loving it 'cause you know I do, yes I do
I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll

I remember the way it used to be
But any way that you want it, that's alright with me
For maybe too long, too long
I'll keep rollin' on, the only way that I can

I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, for maybe too long, too long
I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, maybe too long, too long, long, long, yeah
Yes, I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, maybe too long, too long

I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, for maybe too long, too long, long, long
I'm a fool for rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, baby
I'm a fool baby, for rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
