Once long ago, all the faithful held a show   Down in Elvis Presley Blvd. on Memphis Radio   Where the hopeless held a vigil and the nameless played the charts   Where the losers lost their sorrow and the lonely left their hearts       Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell, “Love me so tender” I cried   Save me a room in the “Heartbreak Hotel”, I'm so alone, I could die      I took a ride with my baby by my side   And the Elvis Presley Blvd. where all the faithful cried   And I saw that silent mansion and I knew that I was lost   They were selling plastic souvenirs of Elvis on the cross      Step on these shoes and I'll see you in hell, “Love me so tender” I cried   Save me a room in the “Heartbreak Hotel”, I'm so alone, I could die      Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone   Nobody's home but the light's always on      Man I was beat, I was driven by the heat   Down to Elvis Presley Blvd. in a one-way dead end street   And I smashed my car to pieces and I said goodbye to youth   I had all the ugly rumors and I could not face the truth      Save me a room in the “Heartbreak Hotel”, I'm so alone, I could die      Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone   Nobody's home but the light's always on
