Once long ago, all the faithful held a show Down in Elvis Presley Blvd. on Memphis Radio Where the hopeless held a vigil and the nameless played the charts Where the losers lost their sorrow and the lonely left their hearts Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell "Love me so tender," I cried Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel I'm so alone, I could die I took a ride with my baby by my side And the Elvis Presley Blvd. where all the faithful cried And I saw that silent mansion and I knew that I was lost They were selling plastic souvenirs of Elvis on the cross Step on these shoes and I'll see you in hell "Love me so tender," I cried Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel I'm so alone, I could die Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone Nobody's home but the light's always on Man I was beat, I was driven by the heat Down to Elvis Presley Blvd. in a one-way dead end street And I smashed my car to pieces and I said goodbye to youth I had all the ugly rumors and I could not face the truth Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel I'm so alone, I could die Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone Nobody's home but the light's always on
