F\u00f8rst cyklede han Memphis og skrev autografer, siden k\u00f8rte han mest i limo og drak sodapop. Her nedenunder st\u00e5r ordene fra hans egen fort\u00e6lling om sorte biler, ambition og for tidlig d\u00f8d, fra det perfekte 1969-comeback-album From Elvis In Memphis. Det er hans f\u00f8dselsdag nummer 72 i dag. Tillykke Elvis!<\/p>\n
LONG BLACK LIMOUSINE<\/p>\n
There’s a long line of mourners
\nDriving down our little street
\nTheir fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yeah
\nThey’re all rich friends who knew you in the scene
\nAnd now they’ve finally brought you
\nBrought you home to me<\/p>\n
When you left you know you told me
\nThat some day you’d be returnin’
\nIn a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yeah
\nWell now everyone is watching you
\nYou finally had your dream, yeah
\nYou’re ridin’ in a long black limousine<\/p>\n
You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yeah
\nThe party, the party and the fatal crash that night
\nWell the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn’t see
\nWhen you’re riding in that long black limousine<\/p>\n
Through tear filled eyes I watch as you pass by, oh yeah
\nA chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
\nWell I never, I never, never, never
\nOh my heart, all my dreams yeah, they’re with you
\nIn that long black limousine<\/p>\n
Yeah, yeah, they’re with you in that long black limousine
\nYeah, yeah, they’re with you in that long black limousine<\/p>\n
