Steamroller BluesElvis Presley

Released: February 4, 1973

Songwriter: James Taylor

[Chorus]
I'm a steamroller baby
I'm about to roll all over you
I'm a steamroller baby
I'm about to roll all over you
I'm going to inject your soul
With sweet rock and roll, poor heaven

[Verse 1]
I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
I’m a demolition derby
A hefty hunk, steaming junk

[Chorus]
I'm a steamroller baby
I'm about to roll all over you
I'm a steamroller baby
I'm about to roll all over you
I'm going to inject your soul
With some sweet rock and roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

[Verse 2]
I'm a napalm bomb
Guaranteed to blow your mind
I'm a napalm bomb
Guaranteed to blow your mind
If I can't have your love now baby
There won't be nothing left behind

Elvis Presley

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.
