[VERSE 1] |
|
|
|
It's a hard life to live when you've got nothing left to
give |
|
And everything you’ve ever cared about is gone |
|
And you try to find a way to make it through another day |
|
Wondering if you’ll always be alone |
|
|
|
[VERSE 2] |
|
|
|
But I learned long ago, me and this old radio |
|
Together, can make it through this world |
|
I ain’t never short of friends once the music begins |
|
Travelling with Elvis, Keith, and Merle |
|
|
|
[CHORUS] |
|
|
|
Elvis helps me with my
heartbreak, in this lonely old hotel |
|
Merle and his silver wings,
they lift me up so well |
|
Keith can always ease my
pain, we’re no strangers to the rain |
|
Together, we make it through
this world |
|
Me, and Elvis, Keith, and
Merle |
|
|
|
[VERSE 3] |
|
|
|
Merle says his mama tried, but we both got a fightin’ side |
|
He’s right there when trouble comes to call |
|
And when the sadness sets in, I just turn to Keith, my
friend |
|
He tells me it ain’t nothing at all |
|
|
|
[VERSE 4] |
|
|
|
Elvis says I should surrender, find someone who’ll love me
tender |
|
It’s a now or never kind of world |
|
But it’s hard to feel alone, when I’ve got the music on |
|
Travelling with Elvis, Keith, and Merle |
|
|
|
[REPEAT CHORUS] |
|
|
|
[TAG] |
|
|
|
Yeah, that old brother jukebox, just wipes away my
teardrops |
|
Travelling with Elvis, Keith, and Merle |
