Way up north they heard the noise
Elvis and Carl, Jerry, Johnny, and Roy
From a little room down in Memphis Tennessee
Papa Sam set the world upon his knee
He had wild boys and Sam would preach
Feeling the soul in every word he'd teach
Take a bit of country add blues and bop
Slap it on the beat til it's ready to rock
The little girls all fell weak at the knees
And the wild boys were eager to please
Some say the music would steal your soul
Back in the early dawn of rock and roll
Trying to find my way back home before the sun goes down
Riding on that train I'm Memphis bound
Searching for the magic and the song to play
Standing in the sunlight of a sun sun sunny day
Sam had the key and watched it slip away
With home gone the boys left for separate ways
They played on the road and they never lost pride
The graduating class of 1955
Elvis and Carl, Jerry, Johnny, and Roy
Still echo in the room Sam built for the boys
So pack me up little darling I'm going Memphis bound
To kneel at the door of Sun Sound
Trying to find my way back home before the sun goes down
Riding on that train I'm Memphis bound
Searching for the magic and the song to play
Standing in the sunlight of a sun sun sunny day
Trying to find my way back home before the sun goes down
Riding on that train I'm Memphis bound
Searching for the magic and the song to play
Standing in the sunlight
Standing in the sunlight
Standing in the sunlight of a sun sun sunny day
