Elvis and Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met him one night in the lobby A Las Vegas hotel He was standin' as close as I'm standin' Next to you now He called me by name And I felt like it changed me somehow, yeah Into someone important and special I know it sounds strange Well I swear that it's true [Chorus] It was Elvis and me Me and El We were just like this Hey, we got on so well We were laughin' and talkin' as nice as can be Can I tell you a story? [Verse 2] He gave me a pass to the late show In the very first row And when it was over He came out to the apron and bowed He looked right at me As if to single me out from the crowd And he slipped me a small piece of paper It said: "Come backstage" Listen, this is no joke [Chorus] It was Elvis and me Me and El In the dressing room With the boys and the Colonel He gave me a wink Any dummy could see Can I tell you a story? [Bridge] Well he took me straight up To the penthouse suite There were stars and pretty girls everywhere Rock 'n' roll royalty Just sittin' at his feet And a charge of electricity in the air I don't expect you to believe me And I don't really care 'Cause I was there I was there [Verse 3] I was hks number one fan And when he died, a part of me passed on too If only he'd called me I know I could have saved him for sure He just needed a friend He must have been so insecure That old Rock Of Ages couldn't hide him anymore But do you see that empty stool? Well, he's sitting there right now [Chorus] And it's still Elvis and me Me and El Hell, I'll buy anything That the Colonel will sell And I, I know that it's wrong But I just can't set him free Can I tell you a story? Can I tell you a story? Well, can I tell you a story 'Bout Elvis and me [Outro] Well, can I tell you a story? Well, can I tell you a story? Well, can I tell you a story? 'Bout Elvis and me Elvis and me Elvis and me Elvis and me 'Bout Elvis and me Elvis and me Elvis and me... [Fade out]
