Are You Lonesome Tonight

We stood on this side of the fence Two boys just biding our time There was a job that had to be done That job lay on the other side I brought the pick ax and shovel Bobby the tarp and the twine We synchronized our watches Both read a quarter past nine With the fence now far behind us We used the cloak of the night To reach our destination Behold, such a heavenly sight So as not to wear ourselves out We both shared in the work While one kept steady watch The other was shoveling dirt Bobby was the first one to hear it That glorious heart throbbing THUD Both of us working the tarp We rolled our jolly friend up Wondering if we'd made a mistake As sirens and flood lights filled the night For regrets it's much to late In our rear view the Memphis sky line The moment we pulled into the drive There was a great sigh of relief A job that was well done The King smiles from the back seat Can anyone actually blame me Or even call it a crime When my Granny just wanted to see Elvis One last time before she died
