From Galway To Graceland

Oh she dressed in the dark

And she whispered amen

She was pretty in pink

Like a young girl again



Twenty years married

And she never thought twice

She sneaked out the door

And walked into the night



And silver wings carried her

Over the sea

From the west coast of Ireland

To West Tennessee



To be with her sweetheart,

Oh she left everything

From Galway to Graceland to be with the king



She was humming Suspicion,

That's the song she liked best

She had Elvis I Love You

Tattooed on her breast



When they landed in Memphis,

Well, her heart beat so fast

She'd dreamed for so long,

Now she'd see him at last



She was down by his graveside

Day after day

Come closing time they

Would pull her away



Ah to be with her sweetheart,

Oh she'd left everything

From Galway to Graceland to be with the king



Ah, they came in their thousands

From the whole human race

To pay their respects

At his last resting place



But blindly she knelt there

And she told him her dreams

And she thought that he answered

Or that's how it seems



Then they dragged her away

It was handcuffs this time

She said "my good man are you out of your mind?"

Don't you know that we're married?



See, I'm wearing his ring.

From Galway to Graceland to be with the king.

I come From Galway to Graceland to be with the king.
