From Galway to Graceland lyrics

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

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 she 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 haul her away

To be with her sweetheart

She left everything

From Galway to Graceland

To be with the King

Oh, they came in their thousands

From the whole human race

To pay their respects at his last resting place

Ah, but blindly she knelt there

And she told him her dreams

And she thought that he answered, or that's how it seems

And they dragged her away; it was handcuffs this time

She said, "My good man, are you out of your mind?

Don't you know we are married?

See, I'm wearing his ring

I've come from Galway to Graceland

To be with the King

From Galway to Graceland

To be with the King"
