Lyrics
THE BOY FROM TUPELO
COPYRIGHT 1988 MANGUM/MENTZEL
HAS THE KING BEEN RESURRECTED OR WAS HE NEVER REALLY GONE
IS HE WALKING HERE AMONG US OR WITH THE FATHER ON THE THRONE
HE SHARED HIS MUSIC AND HIS LIFE BUT IT LEFT HIM ALL ALONE
HAS THE KING BEEN RESURRECTED OR WAS HE NEVER REALLY GONE
THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, HE'S THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL
AND THAT'S A MIGHTY HEAVY CROSS TO BEAR FOR A BOY FROM TUPELO
HE KEPT ON REACHING HIGHER JUST TO LIVE UP TO OUR DREAMS
DID THE DREAM BECOME A NIGHTMARE WHEN THE BOY BECAME THE KING
WELL THEY SAY HE LEFT US QUICKLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
BUT WE KEPT HIS SPIRIT LIVING LIKE A CANDLE BURNING BRIGHT
IF HE'S SOMEWHERE OUT THERE WATCHING US I KNOW THAT HE IS PROUD
TO SEE GRACELAND'S STILL THE MECCA FOR HIS EVER FAITHFUL CROWD
