Blue Suede Shoes (Tribute to Carl Perkins) Songtext
von Johnny Rivers

Goodbye old friend
It′s hard to think this is the end
You touched us all with your life
You gave so much and never did ask why

You're the true blue rock and roll
The where it all began
You′re the heart and the soul
Of every guitar played in a honky tonk band

Now I've got those blue suede blues
An empty feeling in your heart
The train is rolling down the track
It stopped off in eternity and it's never coming back


But your memory goes on
Through all our tears and laughter
And we′ll sing it in your songs
Till we meet again in the great hereafter

But the seasons come and go
And the leaves all change their color
But some things never change
And the songs you gave live on forever

Still I′ve got those blue suede blues
An empty feeling in your heart
The train is rolling down the track
It stopped off in eternity and it's never coming back

Now I′ve got those blue suede blues
It's an empty feeling in your heart
The train is rolling down the track
It stopped off in eternity and it′s never coming back

It stopped off in eternity and it's never coming back
