Letra da Música Elvis Thing / Mystery Train de The Tractors

In 1956 the United States of America
Dropped a hi-fi needle on rock'n roll
And coast to coast we started shaking all over
One nation under God and out of control

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 nothing 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 earthyly heart burns

It's the Elvis thing it cuts right through you...

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
[ guitar ]
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 talk about Vietnam
They'll talk about Martin Luther King and John F Kennedy

(But you know what they'll really be talkin' about)
The Elvis thing it cuts right through you...

Like a mystery train screamin' through the night
There ain't nothin' been the same since the Elvis thing been around
Round round round round

Train train sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train brought my baby back home
Train train
