There's a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yea
They're all your rich friends who knew you in the city
And now they've finally brought you
Brought you home to me

When you left you know you told me
That some day you'd be returnin'
In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea,
Well now everyone is watching you
You finally had your dream, yea and
You're riding in a long black limousine

You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yea
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Well the race up on the highway, oh the curve you didn't see
Well you're riding in that long black limousine

Through tear filled eyes I watch as you ride by oh yea
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
Well I never, I never loved another
Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, they're with you
In that long black limousine

Yea, yea, they're with you in that long black limousine

Yea, yea, yea they're with you in that long black limousine

Yea, yea they're with you in that long black limousine

O.C. Smith may have recorded it first, but Elvis definately improved on it.

He had so many amazing songs that people haven't heard. I have b/c I have been an Elvis fan since I was 5. My fav's are the not so popular ones. His best years were from the 1968 special on. He recorded the best songs at the time no matter who sang it. Once he sang it, it became his. Larry Gatlin would say the same about "Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall". Talk about emotion! And "Bridge Over Troubled Water".....it's an Elvis song. Rest in peace, my King!

Listening to this sad song, makes me want to be dead. Why?

Maybe because if I were, I woudlnt have to deal with life anymore, and I woudnt have to live the hard life we go through every day. But I think it's haveing and end and closure when there nothing else to look forward to. Man, what a deal.
