Oh she dressed in the dark and she whispered a men She was pretty in pink like a young girl again Twenty years married and she never thought twice She sneaked out the door and walked into the night And silver wings carried her over the sea From the west coast of Ireland to West Tennessee To be with her sweetheart, oh she left everything From Galway to Graceland to be with the king
She was humming Suspicion, that's the song she liked best She had Elvis I Love You tattooed on her breast When they landed in Memphis, well her heart beat so fast She'd dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last She was down by his graveside day after day Come closing time they would pull her away Ah to be with her sweetheart, oh she'd left everything From Galway to Graceland to be with the king
Ah, they came in their thousands from the whole human race To pay their respects at his last resting place But blindly she knelt there and she told him her dreams And she thought that he answered or that's how it seems Then they dragged her away it was handcuffs this time She said my good man are you out of your mind. Don't you know that we're married? See, I'm wearing his ring. From Galway to Graceland to be with the king. I come From Galway to Graceland to be with the king.
