Over the years, I found that many folks didn't realize this whole song was about a certain early rock and roll icon who was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.
From the time the icon, still a bit of a mama's boy, began his early singing career, up until his sudden, unexpected death, he had a powerful affect on his audience, especially the females:
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
_____ ______ and that little boy's smile
_____ ______ with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
_____ ______ if you please
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could you do?
I'll give it up a little later this afternoon if no one guesses it.
