Pedal on the gas down I-40 west
Trying to get my mind off of you
Neon lights light up a Beale Street sign
I pull up to the home of the blues
It's midnight but that's alright
I gotta lot of heartbreak to heal
The guitar man raises his gla**
Says, “I understand how you feel.”
Echoes of an Elvis song remind me only fools fall in love
Memories have followed me here but I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you in Memphis
Headed out to the Graceland grounds
Where the King is buried and free
Wish I could fly be no longer tied
To your unchained melody
Echoes of an Elvis song remind me only fools fall in love
I'm checking out of the heartbreak hotel and I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you in Memphis
