Elvis

Not sure if I put this on here. I don't know when I wrote it. It may have been after watching the new Elvis movie. Which, I didn't really like.
If I read it like an idiot. haha Sorry. But I will post the words. I did research for this one. Which, I believe, is the only poem I've ever studied things for.
While Elvis was the inspiration for this, I believe it is about more than just him. It is about growing up. Roles and status. Different types of life and changing.
Elvis:
Good old Mississippi 1943
I was a ten-year-old boy
Being as crazy as I could be
I didn’t have many friends then
But one best friend I found
Was a boy named Elvis Presley
He was boy
But also hound
Yea
----
Him and I had fun then
Neither grew with much mon-ey
I didn’t know what I wanted to be-come
But I can’t say the same for he
He loved to sing so loud
Dance his hips from left to right
Way back then oh man
It would give the elders fright
----
I know he had a brother
But he never came to be
So close to his momma
It was L-O-V-E
He loved music ya
When he sang you could feel it set you free
----
Now many of us have dreams
We try hard to be
The best woman or man
That we can be
It’s not easy to make it
To the top of the heap
But once he had a heartbreak
He was higher than could be
He was grooving
Singing every night and everyday
----
Things were going great ya
Until 57 then
He got his draft notice
Joined the army like a man
They took him away ya
All the way to Germany
Meet a beautiful soul there
Her name started with a P
Oh her name was Priscilla
Love notes swept through the air
Then it was 19
May 1967 Las Vegas ya
They got married
Right in Nev-a-da
----
We always talked to each other
Day by day by day
As the years went by though
I could see him start to change
He seemed too different now
Then the guy he used to be
----
We have a lifes to live
Good days, bad days to
Surviving, it ain’t easy
But I think he had the blues
He was working
Working so much more than his friends
Then he met a magician
Swore to help him take the pain and put it to an end
----
The magician was man
The kind you could trust
Into the life of Elvis
His potions he did thrust
All kinds of potions
Just about every kind a man could need
Wake you up in the morning
Make you sleep at night
Fill you up from hunger
Take your terrors from your sites
Make you smile when your angry
Cry when you can’t hide a smile
Bright you down so low man
Or have you floating up miles
In the sky ya
Flying up there way so high up there in the clouds
----
It been a while since I saw him
And there he was one day
I couldn’t speak a word man
Didn’t know what to say
My best friend
Where the hell was, he
This guy looking in my eyes
Was missing the u out of his soul
---
We all tried to tell him
Just stop for a while
For God’s sake you the king man
Just take off and smile
Look what you’ve done boy
Got to places no normal man can climb
Your fans will always love you
Now take some you time
He muttered some words
Hard to understand
His mind had been taken
From that big magician man
He got too deep in
Too deep into the magic man’s point of view
Could barely speak a word
Hard to sing a lick to
----
Time it always passes
Goes right on by
The kings heart stopped beating
And there he sat and died
Oh, he died
Died so young and feeling so low
I guess the magician that he trusted
Had no magic to make his blood flow
----
I will always remember
The call I got on the phone
A friend just said the Kings dead
And I lost all control
I cried
I cried for days and days and days
So many all over the world man
Were in the hotel heart break
----
Goodbye to a good friend
One who was so kind
Loveed Jesus and his momma
But just couldn’t hide
From the thing that got him to the top
Kept him up and tied until he was no more
Thank you, my dear friend,
For the memories
Heard from shore to shore
----
The music is what took him
Had him so drug out
Now it’s that music keeps him living
People still sing and shout
That’s a shame man
Forever going to sing while people are around
