about
My old friend and partner, Jeff Levenberg, called me from Austin and said, "Hey man, I'm doing a set about Elvis. Write me a song about Elvis, but don't mention him."
I feel the bright lights of Memphis
Smiling down on me
And all the shoe shines and three card hustlers
The pretty girls and the love song buskers singing pleases, baby, please, please
I think this whole town’s turned out just to see
And I don’t want you to ever forget about me
With a slicked-back street corner pompadour
And a two dollar smile that promises five more
A guitar player chunks away and the sidewalk parts to let him play
All the heartbreak and the dive bars that he rode to get him to this corner
And though it ain’t my name up there on the marquee
I promise you won’t ever forget about me
I’m all in cause there’s nothing to lose
And I put on my blue suede shoes
And surely you can see
You won’t ever forget about me
Please, please don’t forget about me
I get this feeling on down south
That I can be anything, you can be my prom queen
The words have meaning in my mouth
And I can surely see
I hear the old men down Beale Street
Trading lies “No, no man let me tell you when…”
Whistling as the girls go by they look so good it’ll make you cry
I’ve been waiting for you darlin’, all my sad life, where you been?
Those boys ain’t telling my story, yet, but just you wait and see
You ain’t going to never forget about me
