From Galway to Graceland

Oh she dressed in the dark and she whispered amen
 She was pretty in pink like a young girl again
 Twenty years married and she never thought twice
 She sneaked out the door and walked into the night
 And silver wings carried her over the sea
 From the west coast of Ireland to West Tennessee
 To be with her sweetheart, oh she left everything
 From Galway to Graceland to be with the king

 She was humming Suspicion, that's the song she liked best
 She had Elvis I Love You tattooed on her breast
 When they landed in Memphis, well her heart beat so fast
 She'd dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last
 She was down by his graveside day after day
 Come closing time they would pull her away
 Ah to be with her sweetheart, oh she'd left everything
 From Galway to Graceland to be with the king

 Ah, they came in their thousands from the whole human race
 To pay their respects at his last resting place
 But blindly she knelt there and she told him her dreams
 And she thought that he answered or that's how it seems
 Then they dragged her away it was handcuffs this time
 She said my good man are you out of your mind.
 Don't you know that we're married? See, I'm wearing his ring.
 From Galway to Graceland to be with the king.
 I come From Galway to Graceland to be with the king
