I'm trying to make a list of songs about Elvis. Can anyone think of any songs to add to my list?

So far I can think of.....

Galway to Graceland

Walking in Memphis

etc, etc.

That's the same engine under the hood that took young Elvis to Hollywood.

Just like new by the Judds.

Absolutely brilliant.

My favourite song about Elvis is:-

TENNESSEE ROAD    by Lisa Gilkyson. and also recorded by Gary P. Nunn.   In fact on Nunn's live album "Home With The Armadillo" they duet on the song.

There is another good, completely different song in my cassette collection, but can I find it, can I remember title, or artist name ?
Help ! Will persevere...…..
