Elvis on Velvet lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, all night, long way, black top highway, midnight, hittin' a groove
Mustang, radio, ragtop, jukebox, hound dog, don't be cruel
Roadside rest stop, all-night truck stop, sideshow out of the van
Rhinestone lunchbox, ashtray, junk shop, key chain hittin' the fan

[Chorus]
Elvis on velvet - don't know why it makes me blue
Elvis on velvet - it's got a strange effect on you
Elvis on velvet - somehow it makes me mad
Elvis on velvet - I can see him tonight up on the road ahead

[Verse 2]
Well, drift back, daydream, Memphis street scene, 1955
A street fair, flat bed, three piece string band, shakin' man alive
Then heartbreak hotel, jailhouse rock, love me tender, please
I'm all shook up, too much, so treat me nice and wear my ring

[Chorus]
Elvis on velvet - I don't know why it makes me blue
Elvis on velvet - it's got a strange effect on you
Elvis on velvet - somehow it makes me mad
Elvis on velvet - I can see him tonight up on the road ahead

[Verse 3]
Well, Graceland wasteland, right this way, ma'am, one low price to pay
His life, his love, his home, his stuff, his final resting place
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, thy records re-released
All kneel to second guess and bless him, let him rest in peace
[Chorus]
Elvis on velvet - I don't know why it makes me blue
Elvis on velvet - it's got a strange effect on you
Elvis on velvet - somehow it makes me mad
Elvis on velvet - I can see him tonight up on the road ahead
