In nineteen fifty-six... The United States of America Dropped a hi-fi needle on rock and roll And coast to coast, we started shakin' all over One nation, under God, out of control [Chorus] It's The Elvis Thing It cuts right through you It tangles you up inside... turns your world upside down Like a mystery train... screamin' through the night There ain't nothin' been the same since The Elvis Thing been around I grew up drivin' a tractor and playin' electric guitar It's a strange road full of detours and twists and turns And when I ask myself why I do what I do The answer is simple... there's a reason my earthly heart burns [Chorus] Come on, love me tender Come on, come on, love me true Just like The Elvis Thing got a hold on me... I wanna get a hold of you When they write the history books and try to explain The second half of the twentieth century They'll talk about puttin' a man on the moon... They'll talk about Vietnam... They'll talk about Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy... (But you know what they'll really be talkin' about) [Chorus] Like a mystery train... screamin' through the night There ain't nothin' been the same since The Elvis Thing been around
