"Elvis Presley Is A Friend Of Mine" -- an original song by Nashville lyricist Greg Halvorson
Upon hearing news of Lisa Marie Presley - may she rest-in-peace - I was feeling nostalgic, so went to the archives and dug out my Elvis anthem... If you're over 50, you remember the day, the moment, you learned the Memphis Meteor died, and how the world stood still and, in fact, changed forever... Here I discuss where I was (camp), and Elvis's fame, how Elvis and Muhammad Ali were revered globally, transcending culture, and then the song... An ode to Elvis... To better music and better culture.
But don't be sad -- love your Mama and everything will be alright... Elvis Presley is a friend of mine.

“Elvis Presley Is A Friend Of Mine”
Packed up my bag around midnight,
drove through Memphis on a cold, raw night
Remembered the friends I lost on the way,
prayed for their souls come Judgment Day
Radio is out so wipers keep the beat
Ain’t no rhine in stone when you’re livin’ on the street
Drove through Memphis on a cold, gray night...
Elvis Presley is a friend of mine
Don’t go ‘round like you’re prince and king
Don’t go ‘round like you know everything
A little humility goes a long way
And every so often, stop and pray
Time goes by like a comet in a sluice,
and it’s all you can do to stay out of that noose
But love your mama, everything’s alright...
Elvis Presley is a friend of mine
Long sideburns weren’t cool back then,
but rebels came along and broke that trend
Follow the water till the seagull flies
Elvis Presley is a friend of mine
Remember the friends you lost on the way
Pray for their souls come Judgment Day
And if you drive through Memphis on a cold, gray night,
remember Elvis is a friend of mine... Remember Elvis is a friend of mine
Yeah, Elvis Presley is a friend of mine
