Elvis Presley

Songwriter: Michael Jarrett

[Verse 1]
On the hills of Georgia
Across the plains of Tennessee
I've seen, and I've done most everything
That a man can do or see
If I could only borrow one dream from yesterday
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas day

[Verse 2]
It’s been so many times before
She left that candle burning
Oh, too many tears that fell
My soul fill with yearning
If I had sense at all
I'd just be on my way
Be on that train tomorrow
Be home on Christmas day

[Verse 3]
Every time I think about her
All the love I left behind
Memories still linger, oh, in my troubled mind
I could set aside my pride
And just be on my way
I'd be on that train tomorrow
And be home on Christmas day

[Verse 4]
If I had any sense at all
I'd just be on my way
I'd be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas day
I’d be on that train tomorrow
I'd be home on Christmas day

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.
