Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me Yeah I got a first class ticket But I'm as blue as a boy can be Then I'm walking in Memphis Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel Saw the ghost of Elvis On Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through Now security they did not see him They just hovered 'round his tomb But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for the King Down in the Jungle Room (Chorus) They've got catfish on the table They've got gospel in the air And Reverend Green be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see her And they asked me if I would -- Do a little number And I sang with all my might And she said -- "Tell me are you a Christian child?" And I said "Ma'am I am tonight" (Chorus) Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain |

Everybody talks about some fateful day
And I guess that this was mine I may be here to tell some kind of story But I think it's gonna take a little time (That's all right) See I'm rockin' in a cradle Down the hall somewhere and I am-- Lost inside a dream Maybe I am falling Maybe I am flying But I know if I am crying she is Holding me And then the sky broke up And then the rain came down And it washed away everything on the ground Wash it away Wash it away Wash it away Now baby's got that bottle Filled up with lightning and rain He keeps calling out for someone But she's riding on a train Riding on the ghost train And she keeps on riding She's gonna keep on riding Mama keep on riding Keep on riding Some trains they leave in the moming Some leave in the afternoon Some trains they leave here Right on time And some they just leave too soon Way too soon But I'm gonna keep on... |

Watched it coming up Winslow
Down South Park Boulevard Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood Great big fins and painted steel Man it looked just like the Batmobile With my old man behind the wheel Well you could hardly even see him In all of that chrome The man with the plan and the pocket comb But every night it carried him home And I could hear him sayin'... Don't gimme no Buick Son you must take my word If there's a God in heaven He's got a Silver Thunderbird You can keep your Eldorados And the foreign car's absurd Me I wanna go down In a Silver Thunderbird He got up every morning While i was still asleep But I remember the sound of him shuffling around Then right before the crack of dawn I heard him turn the motor on But when I got up they were gone Down the road in the rain and snow The man and his machine would go Oh the secrets that old car would know Sometimes I hear him sayin'... (Chorus) |

Baby let's go below the surface
See what we can find There's no reason to be nervous 'Cause it happens all the time I don't want to go up to the mountain I don't need to go down to the sea Gonna sit right here 'till we unravel The mystery While the lights of the city Are shining below Gonna hold onto you girl And never let go While everyone else is just walking around In their sleep Baby let's dig down Dig down deep I wanna dig down deep And I don't wanna wait until tomorrow 'Cause the fortune said that "The time is now" It's time to find out what we're doing What we're doing anyhow Let's go out in the moonlight And walk for awhile Maybe stay up all night and we could Talk for awhile Kick off your shoes 'Cause you've got nothing to lose But your sleep Baby let's dig down Dig down deep I wanna dig down deep It's an open invitation So baby don't you cry It's a life long celebration And I think we're right on time It's a feeling in your heart And a lump in the throat It's a strange and lovely ride Wanna dig down deep inside While the lights of the city Are shining below Gonna hold onto you girl And never let go While everyone else is just walking around In their sleep Baby let's dig down Dig down deep I wanna dig down deep Could you dig down deep I wanna dig down deep |

Let's go down to the sound tonight
Tide is low and we can walk on water Reel me in under that starry light Just like the fisherman's daughter Baby when the bands and the barkers go home They say that Venus she rises From out of the foam She dances on air and laughs at the moon And watches young lovers in fiery dunes So are you willing to wait for the miracle Willing to wait it through Are you willing to wait for the miracle Or don't you believe they're true? There's an old man sitting by the side of the pier He's got his cross and his camera And his bottle of beer He just sits all day and all through the night Praying for a vision or a heavenly light 'Cause he's willing to wait for the miracle Willing to wait it through He's willing to wait for the miracle What else is he gonna do? What else is he gonna do? Now me I don't need no heavenly sign 'Cause I got the water and the wine So baby please let your lovelight shine 'Cause we're all gonna meet our maker Sometime That's why I'm willing to wait for the miracles I'm willing to wait them through I'm willing to wait for the miracles But I just can't wait -- for you Just can't wait for you Let's go down to the sound tonight And walk on water Walk on water Walk on water |

My friends will ask me how I'm doin'
But I just can't lie to 'em Not feeling fine today I saw my dreams they were a Ship on the ocean now it Looks like they're miles away Miles away Hey, hey -- they're miles away I know there's always something We have to go through That has some deeper meaning but Right now I just can't say I know there's gonna be a lesson somewhere I'm gonna think a lot about it later But right now I'm miles away Miles away Hey hey I'm miles away Hey hey hey I'm miles away I'm a million miles away Where I don't have to think at all Don't have to listen to you whisper Your little secrets in the hall Yeah I'd really love to talk about it But I think I hear my mama calling me... Miles away |

Got into a cab in New York City
Was an Oriental man behind the wheel Started talking about heaven Like it was real Said "They got mansions in heaven Yeah the angels are building one for me right now And I know... They're saving the best for last Look around this town And tell me that it ain't so They're saving the best for last Don't ask me how I know 'Cause it must be Saving the best for last for me You can go a hundred miles a second Don't have to drive no lousy cab Got everything you want and more man And the King picks up the tab You walk around on streets of gold all day And you never have to listen To what these customers say and I know... (Chorus) I remember when I was a child Lost in the streets of Chinatown My mother had a vision and I was found (Saving the best for last for me) Oh-oh -- saving the best for last And when I finally take this journey I'm gonna wave goodbye to Earth Gonna throw this meter in the ocean And prove what I was worth And I don't care who tries to flag me down They're gonna have to find another ride uptown And I know They're saving the best for last..." |

There's a stranger in a car
Driving down your street Acts like he knows who you are Slaps his hand on the empty seat and says "Are you gonna get in Or are you gonna stay out?" Just a stranger in a car Might be the one they told you about Well you never were one for cautiousness You open the door He gives you a tender kiss And you can't even hear them no more -- All the voices of choices Now only one road remains And strangers in a car Two hearts Two souls Tonight Two lanes You don't know where you're goin' You don't know what you're doin' Hell it might be the highway to heaven And it might be the road to ruin But this is a song For strangers in a car Baby maybe that's all We really are Strangers in a car (Driving down your street) Just strangers in a car (Driving down your street) Strangers in a car |

I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door And if she needs me bad I can find about two or three more I got one through the basement Two down the hall And when the going gets tough I got a hole in the wall (Chorus) I can come through the chimney like Santa Claus Go through the window and that ain't all A lot of good ways I don't want you to know I even got a hole in the bedroom floor (Chorus) I got a way through the closet behind her clothes A way through the attic that no one knows A master key that fits every lock A hidden door behind the grandfather clock (Chorus) |

Down by the boathouse at Shaker Lake
When there wasn't nothing but love to make They were two young lovers Wishing on the stars above Well they carved their initials In an old birch tree With a heart and an arrow and a '63 You had to be blind not to see It was a perfect love Well they worked one summer together At the '64 World's Fair They met Robert Kennedy there Well that was right before the fall And they saved up a little bit of money For his career And they talked about the future Underneath the giant sphere And all around them The little voices were singing "It's a small world after all" Yes it is--small world after all And it was-- Perfect love It was a perfect love Now they were dizzy from dancing On Rockaway Beach They came to Rockaway And everything they dreamed of was Still within reach Dreaming. . . Dreaming as the years roll by (Like they always do) Well they had their share Of hard times too But whatever they were They never let it get them down Now they just go walking Down a country lane See the leaves are changing In the misty rain And only one thing remains the same-- Just the perfect love (Under the moon and the stars above) It was a perfect love |

Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself Sometimes I'm an angel And sometimes I'm cruel And when it comes to love I'm just another fool Yes, I'll climb a mountain I'm gonna swim the sea There ain't no act of God girl Could keep you safe from me My arms are reaching out Out across this canyon I'm asking you to be my true companion True companion True companion So don't you dare and try to walk away I've got my heart set on our wedding day I've got this vision of a girl in white Made my decision that it's you allright And when I take your hand I'll watch my heart set sail I'll take my trembling fingers And I'll lift up your veil Then I'll take you home And with wild abandon Make love to you just like a true companion You are my true companion I got a true companion True companion When the years have done irreparable harm I can see us walking slowly arm in arm Just like the couple on the corner do 'Cause girl I will always be in love with you And when I look in your eyes I'll still see that spark Until the shadows fall Until the room grows dark Then when I leave this Earth I'll be with the angels standin' I'll be out there waiting for my true companion Just for my true companion True companion True companion |
