about

You can't know Elvis until you stand in the house where he was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. Then you will truly feel him in your soul.

lyrics

Standing by a statue of a young boy, in Tupelo
Just a few steps from the house where he was born.
The boy is in coveralls, the house is trailer size,
If you didn't know the story you could easy pass it by

The life of this young lad is one that millions know
He became a mighty king, the king of rock and roll
He rocked the whole world with a music revolution
The statue in Tupelo speaks to a global institution

Standing in Tupelo touched by the life of Elvis
The boy in the coveralls never knew it would come to this
That he'd be gone too soon and the world would live him so
That the glory road he sang about at 42 would take him home

Standing in Tupelo
Stately and serene
He captured something of us all
He captured something of us all

A Guy Clark tune says, "some days you write the song, some days the song writes you.' I love to write songs and some do write me. Early morning sun says there's another new day dawning and it will bless me in some way
