elouise to the tune of growin up

Bruce Springsteen

Well, what power of God does a nun use to hold up parish priests

I m turning into Elvis and there s nothing I can do

He said Son that guitar is a wonderful thing but it can be the living devils friend.

I m turning into Elvis and there s nothing I can do
