[Verse 1]
             
Another night 

              
in another tow

  
n in another s

moky place
            
Me and the [fu

              
ll] band were 

              
sitting backst

             
age, staring a

      
t the face
             
Of the lead si

              
nger of the op

           
ening act, who

 had just left

 the stage
            
I saw youthful

              
 greatness in 

             
his eyes despi

       
te his age

             
He said: "Take

              
 a picture, wh

             
y don't you! H

ow many others

 have done the

 same?
            
'Cause I was o

              
nce called Elv

             
is Presley; No

              
w Jackson is t

   
he name."
             
We sat there i

           
n silence, as 

reality set in
            
I had so many 

              
things to ask 

             
him, But didn'

              
t know where t

  
o begin

[Chorus]

So God Save th

e King
           
He said it's n

              
ot as easy as 

   
it looks to
            
live as royalt

y


God save the k

ing
           
He said I neve

              
r died, I was 

     
just tired of
             
living in Tenn

[Verse 2]
             
His voice was 

              
unedeniably of

     
 the man who h

e claimed to b

He wore a Poor

              
 David's Pub t

             
-shirt and a f

             
aded pair of j

eans
             
He said: "The 

              
smell of a bar

              
 at midnight, 


HELL this is w

hat it's all a

bout!"
            
"You know I tr
