[Verse 1]
[C]Well, [F]lef[C]t
St.
Louis in a
Pontiac
Dambus
[F]And her [C]roadmap opened [F]in red
[C]But do [F]you remember?
She was smokin' down the
highway in her blue
Cadillac
[C]Smiled at
[F]Sylvester, she [C]smiled [F]back
And [G]made a little stop at the dog cafe
Oh, the [C]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
[F]Then they started talking
about the money they saved
They [C]rode together for
the rest of the way
Star[G]ted to throw a penny
in a wishing well
They set [C]out in the yard of a local motel
They never made it [F]to
Memphis
They never saw the [C]key
He saw a chance in heav[G]en
She saw a wedding [C]ring
They found a wishing well [F]watered
They did it all in [C]a day
They never made it [G]to
Memphis
Hell, but they [C]came[Cm][C]
[Cm][F][C][F][C]
[G][C]
We couldn't understand
where the time had flown
It was 1990, heavy kids were [F]grown
[G]One [F]day she admitted she still had a dream
[Bb]Of headi[C]ng down [G]sout[C]h to see
the home of the king
[F]They [G]packed off the dogs to old
Lanny
Cates
And they [C]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 [F]thinkin' about the
kisses that he used to steal
Get[C]tin' really hard to keep
his hands on the wheel
She looked as [G]good to him now
as she did back then
They were [C]sweet sixteen [F]all [G]over [C]again
They never made it [F]to
Memphis
They never made the [C]key
They met a little de[G]tour,
a dairy [C]queen
They found a wishing well [F]motel,
they did it all the [C]day
They never made it to
Mem[G]phis, they didn't [C]care
They never made it to
Mem[G]phis, they didn't care
[C]They never made it to
Mem[G]phis
Yeah, [F]yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bb]Yeah
