The Miracle Mile
© 2015 K Leverett 8/09/15

A young Elvis in the elevator
Checking out all the chicks with small feet
But burning love’s in the incinerator
And even the King can have a bad week

A street troubador playing Hillbilly rhythm
Shuffle up and drop a dollar in his case
But like big E I’m busting outta this blue hotel
And I’m off to join the human race

I said I’m gonna make a change for the better
It’ll get better in a little while
Cause I’ll be riding with Johnny in his big black Caddy
Cruisin down the miracle mile
The miracle mile

Well I got off the train in Memphis
My inner compass spinning out of control
The air filled with the smell of fried chicken
As I wandered down the streets of soul

Checked into a room with dark curtains
Sent a message to the one I love so true
Maybe you could see me for old times sake
Maybe it’s the least you can do

You’ll see I’m gonna make a change for the better
It’ll get better when it can’t get worse
Cause I’ll be riding with Johnny in his big black Caddy
But we’ll both be leaving in a hearse
Down the miracle mile
The miracle mile

And I’m trying to find something more real
Cause people forget what you say
Even forget what you do
But they don’t forget how you make them feel

And so I’m gonna make a change for the better
It’ll get better in a little while
Cause I’ll be riding with Johnny in his big black Caddy
Cruisin down the miracle mile
The miracle mile
Going nowhere, but riding in style, down the miracle mile
