Elvis Is Alive
(Treml/Rill)

Elvis is alive in Little Smalltownville
where he was born before his Momma took the pill
his Daddy didn't want him to end up like himself
as just another guy out on the streets of Little Smalltownville

Now Elvis lives at home in a two-room with his Mom
it’s been a while since his Daddy up & gone
Now Elvis hardly ever takes his Daddy's car out for a ride
out on the streets of Little Smalltownville

"Momma", one night Elvis asked,
“can I come too when you go out to dance?”
"How 'bout some other time?" his Momma said
but that was the last time the music played in Little Smalltownville

Elvis is alive in Little Smalltownville
at 55 he’s still struggling to pay his bills
In his Momma's eyes he's a different man, not just another guy
out on the streets of Little Smalltownville
