[Verse]
I was thinking
that night ab
out Elvis
Day that he di
ed, day that h
e died
I was thinking
that night ab
out Elvis
Day that he di
ed, day that h
e died
Just a country
boy that comb
ed his hair
And put on a s
hirt his mothe
r made and wen
t on the air
And he shook i
t like a choru
s girl
And he shook i
t like a Harle
m queen
He shook it li
ke a midnight
rambler, baby,
Like you never
seen
[Verse]
I was thinking
that night ab
out Elvis
Day that he di
ed, day that h
e died
I was thinking
that night ab
out Elvis
Day that he di
ed, day that h
e died
How he took it
all out of bl
ack and white
Grabbed his wa
nd in the othe
r hand and he
held on tight
And he shook i
t like a hurri
cane
He shook it li
ke to make it
break
And he shook i
t like a holy
roller, baby
With his soul
at stake, with
his soul at s
take
[Verse]
I was thinking
that night ab
out Elvis
Day that he di
ed, day that h
e died
I was thinking
that night ab
out Elvis
Day that he di
ed, day that h
e died
He was all alo
ne in a long d
ecline
Thinking how h
appy John Henr
y was that he
fell down and
died
When he shook
it and he rang
like silver
He shook it an
d he shine lik
e gold
He shook it an
d he beat that
steam drill,
baby
Well bless my
soul, bless my
soul
[Bridge]
Well bless my
soul

Just a country

Put on a shirt
his mother ma
de and he went

And he shook i

He shook it li

He shook it li

Like he never
