Elvis from The Emperor by Ethan Larsh

When I was young I drove down to Memphis
And I saw Elvis where he lay
In a grave by the garden six feet under
Even if you’re a king everybody decays

When I was twenty I married my first love
A waitress at a diner her name was Suzanne
She had a soft heart but carried a heavy mind
She left on a dime and moved to Tulsa

Suzanne

Now I’m an old man maybe a sad man
I get up early and I go to bed late
Sometimes with friends most times alone
If I were to fall I would break all my bones

Suzanne

When I was young I drove to Memphis
And I saw Elvis where he lay
In a grave by the garden six feet under
Even if you’re a king everyone decays
