We�ve left our home on a ?Friday Evening
My Pat my guitar and me
We are crossing all of West Virginia
Southbound to Tennessee
I've waited for a lifetime
To realize a dream
I'm standing at the Gates of Heaven
And singing for a King
A song I heard a long time ago
When I was just a Kid
It tells the tale of humble child
Who grew up to be King
His singing come straight from heart
His music from the soul
It went so far around the globe
To places you don�t know
But then one day at forty-two
He rode into the sun
His magic spell is still around
And it�s second to none
As I recall that Godless day
And the flowers at his door
The whole of earth did cry for him
As it never had cried before
And now I stand on that very spot
I'm holding back a tear
But also bring a smile with me
To sing this melody
I bow before his majesty
I thank him for his art
It always kept me company
We never broke apart
We�ve left our home on a ?Friday Evening
My Pat my guitar and me
We went across all of West Virginia
Southbound to Tennessee
Cause I am in search of anything
To bring him back to us
And as I stand here at his door
I feel I�m at a loss
His presence which is still around
Some kind of energy
It pulls you into a magic spell
You can�t help but come to see
The country boy who beat the odds
He went through thick and thin
And just when they would count him out
He managed to break free
We�ve left our home on a ?Friday Evening
My Pat my guitar and me
We�ve met the King of Rock and Roll
Down in Memphis Tennessee
