Billy Joel - Elvis Presley Blvd. lyrics
[Billy Joel - Elvis Presley Blvd. lyrics]
Once long ago, all the faithful held a show
Down in Elvis Presley Blvd on Memphis Radio
Where the hopeless held a vigil and
The nameless played the charts
Where the losers lost their sorrow and
The lonely left their hearts
Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell
"Love me so tender, " I cried
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so alone, I could die
I took a ride with my baby by my side
And the Elvis Presley Blvd where
All the faithful cried
And I saw that silent mansion and
I knew that I was lost
They were selling plastic souvenirs of
Elvis on the cross
Step on these shoes and I'll see you in hell
"Love me so tender, " I cried
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so alone, I could die
Drive down that road tonight
Everyone is gone
Nobody's home but the light's always on
Man I was beat, I was driven by the heat
Down to Elvis Presley Blvd in
A one-way dead end street
And I smashed my car to pieces
And I said goodbye to youth
I had all the ugly rumors and
I could not face the truth
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so alone, I could die
Drive down that road tonight
Everyone is gone
Nobody's home but the light's always on
Down in Elvis Presley Blvd on Memphis Radio
Where the hopeless held a vigil and
The nameless played the charts
Where the losers lost their sorrow and
The lonely left their hearts
Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell
"Love me so tender, " I cried
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so alone, I could die
I took a ride with my baby by my side
And the Elvis Presley Blvd where
All the faithful cried
And I saw that silent mansion and
I knew that I was lost
They were selling plastic souvenirs of
Elvis on the cross
Step on these shoes and I'll see you in hell
"Love me so tender, " I cried
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so alone, I could die
Drive down that road tonight
Everyone is gone
Nobody's home but the light's always on
Man I was beat, I was driven by the heat
Down to Elvis Presley Blvd in
A one-way dead end street
And I smashed my car to pieces
And I said goodbye to youth
I had all the ugly rumors and
I could not face the truth
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so alone, I could die
Drive down that road tonight
Everyone is gone
Nobody's home but the light's always on
