I heard the song.
I heard the voice.
I thought it was Elvis.

In the mist of my sleep the song was hypnotizing me.
Had me waking up to the tune "You Don't Know What You Got"
But it was Ral Donner behind the words.
Who I thought was Elvis?
He had his vocals down.

Upon this radio station I was upon, I heard "Tribute To A King".
Again, I thought it was Elvis.
With every word that was sung.
Only to heard the man state it was Ronny Mcdowell.
Even he had the voice down.
Had you thinking the "King"  was still around walking.

I heard a song called "Suspicion" and knew Presley recorded the tune.
So I thought it was Elvis only to be cut down.
That it was Terry Stafford version I was listening too.
Yes, he had the voice down.
Had you thinking Elvis was still around.

If impersonation is the highest form of flattery.
Then he has been anointed the one to do.
Especially when many guys can perform him greatly.

Cause I thought all of them as Elvis.
And I wasn't even shook up.
