Elvis Presley Boulevard

The movie theatre’s closing down in Memphis

While a blues band’s burning up the stage

across town

The street lamps hang like saviours

from their crosses

While the losers throw their scratch tickets

on the ground

As the moon shines down on

Elvis Presley Boulevard

And the tourists trapped with the cameras

in their hands

Who would have ever realized that such

a short drive could seem so far

When you’re a sucker searching for

the promised land

The casino manager lost the farm in Vegas

Cocaine charges sent from the D.A.

He blamed it on the lack of entertainment

He said he’d never lose his shirt

that way

You can bet your life the most dangerous

drugs are legal

And some doctors will feed you death

straight from their hands

So even if you’re loved by fifty million people

There’s not one of them gonna be there

where you land

Seen a white limousine on Elvis Presley

Boulevard
