In nineteen fifty-six, the United States of America
Dropped a hi-fi needle on rock and roll
And coast to coast, we started shakin' all over
One nation, under God, out of control
[Chorus]
It's The Elvis Thing
It cuts right through you
It tangles you up inside, turns your world upside down
Like a mystery train, screamin' through the night
There ain't nothin' been the same since The Elvis Thing been around
I grew up drivin' a tractor and playin' electric guitar
It's a strange road full of detours and twists and turns
And when I ask myself why I do what I do
The answer is simple, there's a reason my earthly heart burns
[Chorus]
Come on, love me tender
Come on, come on, love me true
Just like The Elvis Thing got a hold on me
I wanna get a hold of you
When they write the history books and try to explain
The second half of the twentieth century
They'll talk about puttin' a man on the moon
They'll talk about Vietnam
They'll talk about Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy
(But you know what they'll really be talkin' about)
[Chorus]
Like a mystery train, screamin' through the night
There ain't nothin' been the same since
The Elvis Thing been around
