    Verse 1
    Well, 
    left 

    St. 

    Louis 
    in 
    a 

    Pontiac 

    Dambus 

    And 
    her 
    roadmap 
    opened 
    in 
    red 

    But 
    do 
    you 
    remember? 

    She 
    was 
    smokin' 
    down 
    the 

    highway 
    in 
    her 
    blue 

    Cadillac 

    Smiled 
    at 

    Sylvester, 
    she 
    smiled 
    back

    And 
    made 
    a 
    little 
    stop 
    at 
    the 
    dog 
    cafe 

    Oh, 
    the 
    pink 
    black 
    coffee 

    were 
    the 
    hours 
    away 

    She 
    said, 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    see 

    Elvis, 
    make 
    my 
    dreams 
    come 
    true 

    He 
    said, 
    I 
    can't 
    believe 
    it, 

    it's 
    my 
    dream 
    too 

    Then 
    they 
    started 
    talking 

    about 
    the 
    money 
    they 
    saved 

    They 
    rode 
    together 
    for 

    the 
    rest 
    of 
    the 
    way 

    Star
    ted 
    to 
    throw 
    a 
    penny 

    in 
    a 
    wishing 
    well 

    They 
    set 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    yard 
    of 
    a 
    local 
    motel 

    They 
    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 

    Memphis 

    They 
    never 
    saw 
    the 
    key 

    He 
    saw 
    a 
    chance 
    in 
    heav
    en 

    She 
    saw 
    a 
    wedding 
    ring 

    They 
    found 
    a 
    wishing 
    well 
    watered 

    They 
    did 
    it 
    all 
    in 
    a day 

    They 
    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 

    Memphis 

    Hell, 
    but 
    they 
    came 




    We 
    couldn't 
    understand 

    where 
    the 
    time 
    had 
    flown 

    It 
    was 
    1990, 
    heavy 
    kids 
    were 
    grown 

    One 
    day 
    she 
    admitted 
    she 
    still 
    had 
    a 
    dream 

    Of 
    heading 
    down 
    south 
    to 
    see 

    the 
    home 
    of 
    the 
    king 

    They 
    packed 
    off 
    the 
    dogs 
    to 
    old 

    Lanny 

    Cates 

    And 
    they 
    headed 
    down 
    to 

    Graceland, 
    one 
    day 
    as 
    they 
    are 

    Well, 
    as soon 
    as 
    they 
    hit 
    that 
    open 
    road 

    Every 
    twist 
    and 
    turn 

    reminded 
    him 
    of 
    long 
    ago 

    He 
    was 
    thinkin' 
    about 
    the 

    kisses 
    that 
    he 
    used 
    to 
    steal 

    Get
    tin' 
    really 
    hard 
    to 
    keep 

    his 
    hands 
    on 
    the 
    wheel 

    She 
    looked 
    as 
    good 
    to 
    him 
    now 

    as 
    she 
    did 
    back 
    then 

    They 
    were 
    sweet 
    sixteen 
    all 
    over 
    again 

    They 
    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 

    Memphis 

    They 
    never 
    made 
    the 
    key 

    They 
    met 
    a 
    little 
    de
    tour, 

    a 
    dairy 
    queen 

    They 
    found 
    a 
    wishing 
    well 
    motel, 

    they 
    did 
    it 
    all 
    the 
    day 

    They 
    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 

    Mem
    phis, 
    they 
    didn't 
    care 

    They 
    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 

    Mem
    phis, 
    they 
    didn't 
    care 

    They 
    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 

    Mem
    phis 

    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah 

    Yeah

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
