Well, left
St.
Louis in a
Pontiac
Dambus
And her roadmap opened in red
But do you remember?
She was smokin' down the
highway in her blue
Cadillac
Smiled at
Sylvester, she smiled back
And made a little stop at the dog cafe
Oh, the pink black coffee
were the hours away
She said, I'm gonna see
Elvis, make my dreams come true
He said, I can't believe it,
it's my dream too
Then they started talking
about the money they saved
They rode together for
the rest of the way
Started to throw a penny
in a wishing well
They set out in the yard of a local motel
They never made it to
Memphis
They never saw the key
He saw a chance in heaven
She saw a wedding ring
They found a wishing well watered
They did it all in a day
They never made it to
Memphis
Hell, but they came
We couldn't understand
where the time had flown
It was 1990, heavy kids were grown
One day she admitted she still had a dream
Of heading down south to see
the home of the king
They packed off the dogs to old
Lanny
Cates
And they headed down to
Graceland, one day as they are
Well, as soon as they hit that open road
Every twist and turn
reminded him of long ago
He was thinkin' about the
kisses that he used to steal
Gettin' really hard to keep
his hands on the wheel
She looked as good to him now
as she did back then
They were sweet sixteen all over again
They never made it to
Memphis
They never made the key
They met a little detour,
a dairy queen
They found a wishing well motel,
they did it all the day
They never made it to
Memphis, they didn't care
They never made it to
Memphis, they didn't care
They never made it to
Memphis
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
