I know why you cried the day Elvis died
When Hank was called away I cried all that day
Everybody needs a rainbow that they can look up to
What Hank meant to me Elvis meant to you
So let your tears run down don't you run and hide
I know why you cried the day Elvis died
Well all of my life I've heard the Lovesick Blues
And all of your life you were raised on Blue Suede Shoes
The King of Country Music and the King of Rock and Roll
Their songs warmed our hearts their music touched our souls
So let your tears run down and don't you run and hide
I know why you cried the day Elvis died
I know why you cried the day Elvis died
