[Verse 1]
I'm riding the rainbow
Hitting the highway to happiness
Oh yes, I'm looking to find someone
Whose meant to be mine

[Verse 2]
I'm living to love and loving to live
I've got a heart, I'm longing to give
I'm riding the rainbow
I'll follow that star to where you are

[Verse 3]
I'm riding the rainbow
Heading for heaven and happiness
I guess somebody somewhere
Someday will teach me to care

[Verse 4]
But being alone
Don't bother me
I'm free to have fun
It's fun to be free

[Verse 5]
I'm riding the rainbow
I'll follow that star
I'm riding the rainbow
To where you are

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
