Long Live the King

from Stuck inside of mobile by Jeff "the Horse" Horsey

/

about

Elvis Presley and Memphis. Can't get away from it! Originally conceived alongside the Mississippi River, Memphis 2013, dozing in the late afternoon sun.

lyrics

Verse 1

The Sun is setting on Memphis, the Mississippi shines like a sea.
The big boats roll and the trucks cross over, Arkansas to Tennessee,
Arkansas to Tennessee.

Verse 2

There's a drunk on a park bench sleeping, in the last of the evening sun,
only opening up one eye, to watch that big river run.
Watch that big river run.

Chorus

There's a pink Cadillac up in Graceland, sure ain't going nowhere.
The King is dead, long live the King,
he's hanging around in the air.
Sometimes so close you can touch him,
sometimes gone like the break of day.
There's a ghost hanging 'round old Memphis town.
That's alright Mamma,
he's here to stay, hey hey.

Verse 3

The lights in the city start shining, a saxophone somewhere wails,
like an echo of that Mystery Train that jumped right off of the rails, yeah yeah,
jumped right off of the rails.

Repeat chorus
