In the winter of 1935
In the town of Tupelo
The thin walls of a shotgun shack
Was my shelter from the cold
Twin boys were born on a winter’s day
One laid still and cold
So they laid them down in the cold ground
To sleep beneath the snow
They walk the dirt road hand in hand
To school in back again
Is the only child she’ll ever have
He’s his only friend
And as the darkness falls and the night birds call
They turn on the radio
To sing along till the crack of dawn
Across the tracks of Tupelo
They rode the sky like lightning
From Graceland to Hollywood.
They sang a song that was pure and strong
That gave like rock & roll
His life became a lesson his legend won't cease to grow
The angels sang on the day he came
To be born in Tupelo
Hmmmmm
