"you"

Well she drew out all her money from the Southern Trust
and put her little boy on a Greyhound Bus
Leaving from Memphis with a guitar in his hand
On a one way ticket to the Promised Land

Well hey little girl with the red dress on
There's a party tonight down in Memphis-town
I'll be going down there if YOU need a ride
the man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died.

We drove down to Memphis
the sky was hard and black
up over the ridge came a white Cadillac
He'd drawn out all his money and they let him in the back
A woman cried from the road, sighing Elvis' going home

They found him slumped up against the drain
with a whole lot of trouble
just a-runnin' through his veins
Bye-Bye Johnny
Johnny Bye-Bye
You didn't have to die,
you didn't have to die

-Bruce Springsteen Johnny Bye-Bye, flip side of Cover Me 45
In memory of Elvis Presley on the 25th anniversary of his death
