Pieces Of My LifeElvis Presley

Released: May 7, 1975

Songwriter: Troy Seals

Producer: Felton Jarvis

[Verse 1]
A water glass full of whiskey
And women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I've seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell

[Verse 2]
I don't know how it started
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holding on to nothing
Trying' to forget the rest

[Chorus]
I'm looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best part away
Lord away, away

[Verse 3]
Playin' the bars, playin' like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin' on songs
My friends wrote for me to sing

[Chorus]
I'm looking back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away
Well, I found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess I threw the best parts away
Away, away

[Verse 4]
Lord, the pieces of my life
They're everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I think I miss most of all
Is you and you know who

Looking back on my life Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Looking back on my life today
To see if I can find the pieces
Looking back on my life
God help me find the pieces

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.
