Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain W.C. Handy - won´t you look down over me Yeah I got a first class ticket But I´m as blue as a girl can be

Then I´m walking in Memphis Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis On Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through Now security they did not see him They just hovered Tround his tomb But there´s a pretty little thing Waiting for the King Down in the Jungle Room

Coro

They´ve got catfish on the table They´ve got gospel in the air And Reverend Green be glad to see you When you haven´t got a prayer But boy you´ve got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see him And they asked me if I would - Do a little number And I sang with all my might And he said - Tell me are you a Christian child? And I said Man I am tonight

Coro

Put on my blue suede shoes.

You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun Just a small town dude with a big city attitude Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight Well all right

You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild Shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile Honey but you met your match tonight Oh, that's right

You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor 'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more So come on baby Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

Coro: If you can give it I can take it 'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it I know tonight Somebody's gonna win the fight So if you're so tough Come on and prove it You heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it Tonight you're gonna go down in flames Just like Jesse James

You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide Well you ain't so strong, won't be long 'til your hands are tied Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive That's right

You break the laws of love in the name of desire Take ten steps back cause I'm ready baby Aim and fire Baby there's nowhere you gonna run tonight Ooh that's right

Well you've had your way with love but it's the end of the day Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away So come on baby Come on baby Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say

Coro instrumental

You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor 'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more So come on baby Come on baby, come on

Coro

Tonight you're gonna go down in flames Just like Jesse James Tonight you're gonna go down in flames Just like Jesse James

I'm gonna shoot you down Jesse James

When you pray with every breath You know that is free as the love you have Where does it end It's too much for me to take There's no peace, you close your eyes I'm all out of truth, I'm outta alibis Where does it end It's too much for me to take

Coro: We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done Give up resisting one by one One by one He gives a new kinda meaning to what I am I know that I could never love any other man One of these days you'll understand Understand

And his face his heaven sent He makes me believe there must be something else Where does it end It's too much for me to take I can feel the need in you There isn't a thing, I want you do Where does it end It's too much for me to take

Coro

Coro

We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes Sweet salvation for what we've done Give up resisting one by one One by one

We're gonna love one another

 We're gonna love one another

Give up resisting one by one One by one

One by one

I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw Papa would do whatever he could Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good 

Coro: Gypsys, tramps, and thieves We'd hear it from the people of the town They'd call us Gypsys, tramps, and thieves But every night all the men would come around And lay their money down 

Picked up a boy just south of Mobile Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal I was sixteen, he was twenty-one Rode with us to Memphis And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done 

Coro

I never had schoolin' but he taught me well With his smooth southern style Three months later I'm a gal in trouble And I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh 

She was born in the wagon of a travellin' show Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw Grandpa'd do whatever he could Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

Bang bang you shot me down Bang bang I hit the ground Bang bang that awful sound Bang bang my baby shot me down

I was five and you were six We rode on horses made of sticks I wore black you wore white You would always win the fight

Bang bang you shot me down Bang bang I hit the ground Bang bang that awful sound Bang bang my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time I grew up I called you mine You would always laugh and say Remember when we used to play

Bang bang you shot me down Bang bang I hit the ground Bang bang that awful sound Bang bang my baby shot me down

Music played and people sang Just for me the church bells rang After echoes from a gun We both vowed that we´d be one

Now you´re gone I don´t know why Sometimes I cry You didn´t say goodbye You didn´t take the time to lie

Bang bang you shot me down Bang bang I hit the ground Bang bang that awful sound Bang bang my baby shot me down

My father married a pure Cherokee My mother's people were ashamed of me The indians said I was white by law The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"

Coro: Half-breed, that's all I ever heard Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word Half-breed, she's no good they warned Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled, went from town to town When you're not welcome you don't hang around The other children always laughed at me "Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

Coro

We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame My life since then has been from man to man But I can't run away from what I am

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Susan the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus You've got to help me make a stand You've just got to see me through another day My body's aching and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn you head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again

If I could turn back time If I could find a way I´d take back those words that hurt you and you´d stay

I don´t know why I did the things I did I don´t know why I said the things I said Love´s like a knife it can cut deep inside Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.

I didn´t really mean to heart you I didn´t wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby

If I could turn back time If I could find a way I´d take back those words that hurt you and you´d stay If I could reach the stars I´d give them all to you Then you´d love me, love me like you used to do

If I could turn back time

My world was shattered I was torn apart Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart You walked out that door I swore that I didn´t care But I lost everything darling then and there

Too strong to tell you I was sorry Too proud to tell you I was wrong I know that I was blind, and ooh...

Coro

Look at us the picture of happiness
Not so long ago, Ah, not so very long ago
The price of all our friends
The perfect couple were we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad sad story.

Coro
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so onesided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Tumbling down

Look at us the King and Queen of emptiness
Living inside our castle of loneliness
Unable to make amends
Such perfect strangers are we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad story.

Coro

The fortune queen of New Orleans,
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat were scratches from
The marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass,
She said "Home James" and he hit the gas
I Followed her to some darkened room,
She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"

Coro:
Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark Lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself

She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack,
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place,
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

Coro

So I ran home and crawled in my bed,
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume,
And how I smelled it was in my own room!
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man,
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor,
Dark Lady would never turn a card up anymore

Coro

 Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody gives you guarantees
´Cos a heart can always be broken
And there can be no loving without tears

Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway if I can´t find love,
I´m gonna runaway

Nobody´s looking for perfection
How could they give it in return
But I told my heart to believe you
And you just gave your love to anyone

Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway and I don´t want to hurt anymore
Though my heart is always aching
If I can´t find love,
I´m gonna runaway
