Elvis Presley

Songwriter: Bob Dylan

[Verse 1]
They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

[Chorus]
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

[Verse 2]
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall

[Chorus]
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

[Verse 3]
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Crying out that he was framed

[Chorus]
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

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.
