Listening To Elvis Presley On The Radio

It was 1956
I was in the 5th grade
Staring at the girls
Waiting for the bell to ring
I got off the school bus
Turned on the rock n' roll show
Listening To Elvis Presley
On The Radio

Couldn't help but sing along
Lying there on my bed
Put my home work off
Mystery Train in my head
Hound Dog and Don't Be Cruel
Singing those songs we know
Listening To Elvis Presley
On The Radio

Didn't know where Memphis was
Never been to Tennessee
I was just a kid
Elvis was a god to me

Fast forward with the King
To 1969
My girl friend and me
With our Suspicious Minds
Cruising in my car
So many places to go
Listening To Elvis Presley
On The Radio

A nice tribute to the King. Like Sinatra, he could make any song (even very mediocre ones) sound like a masterpiece.
