True Love Travels On A Gravel Road
When they could have satins and lace
And stand by her man, never once letting shade touch her face
How many hearts could live through all the winters
We've known and still not be cold
True love travels on a gravel road.
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.
Down through the years we've had hard times and tears
But they only helped our love grow
And we'll stay together no matter how strong the wind blows
Not once have I seen your blue eyes filled with envy
Or stray from the one that you hold
Oh true love travels on a gravel road.
Love is a stranger and hearts are in danger
All through streets paved with gold
For true love travels on a gravel road.
Yeah, true love travels on a gravel road. Mmmm
True love travels on a gravel road.
True love travels on a gravel road.
Wearing That Loved On Look
I had to leave town for a little while,
You said you’d be good while I’m gone,
But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie,
I know there’s been some carryin’ on.
Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look.
The ash trays are all full of ashes,
The floor needs a touch of the mop,
There’s a man downstairs with a long bushy hair,
He said your party was a three day rock.
Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look.
Baby if you ever loved me,
Then Bonnie and Clyde loved the law,
Well a bird can’t fly and I don’t like apple pie,
And trees won’t grow in Arkansas.
Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look.
I had to leave town for a little while,
You said you’d be good while I’m gone,
But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie,
I know there’s been some carryin’ on.
Well - Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look,
Yeah - Baby, You’re wearin’ that loved on look
Yeah – Baby

Elvis : Vegas '69 -- July 31, 1969 marks a historic milestone in Elvis' career. Bolstered by the runaway success of the '68 Comeback show and energized by productive recording sessions at American Sound Studios, which would spawn such timeless hits as 'Suspicious Minds', In The Ghetto' and 'Don't Cry Daddy', Elvis launched his return to live performance at Las Vegas's International Hotel in the summer of 1969.
Interview with Elvis Presley: The February 1970 Press Conference
The Houston Astrodome was chosen by Colonel Parker to be the first venue for Elvis to perform outside
After the concluding show Elvis held a press conference for about 100 journalists at Astroworld.
He declared that he got a big thrill out of the appearance in 'The Dome'.
Elvis checked out of Astroworld wearing a blue Easy Rider-inspired suede jacket and black trousers, taking with him 20 suitcases and 3 guitars - $1.2 million richer than 3 days earlier.
Q: What made you decide to come to
Elvis: Well, to tell you the truth, I started out here in
Q: Do you remember what locations you worked here in
Elvis: Well, I worked
Q: What do you think of
Elvis: I like it, I like it… really enjoy it.
Q: Elvis, can you give us, I understand with all the big engagements, like
Elvis: Well, uh… they asked me to do it and I was anxious to do some live appearances, you know. I haven't… it had been a long time since I'd been on stage in front of anybody live and I was anxious to do some live appearances and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get in front of the people.
Q: You ever seen the inside of the Dome before?
Elvis: Never have. It scares the (laughs)… it's a big place, man, you know.
Q: You've been known as the King of Rock'n'Roll. Do you think your style has changed now from the days when you were King or do you consider that's still your style?
Elvis: I think the overall thing has improved.
The overall sound has improved, I mean, I think it… it's according to the songs, you know.
It's just according to the songs.
Q: Is your stage presentation still the same way it was or have you improved on that?
Elvis: Well, I just do whatever I feel on stage, you know, I always did that.
Q: Are you going to keep making films?
Elvis: Hope to. (Laughter) Well, I'd like to make better films and…
Q: What do you mean by better?
Elvis: Better than the ones I made before.
Q: I mean, playing general types, westerns, or romances.
Elvis: (Coughs) Excuse me. I can't take this fresh air, man. I'm used to the garbage can at the International Hotel, man. (Laughter) If I can't smell some garbage, I don't feel at home, man, I tell you. (Coughs)
Q: Do you have any films in the making right now or any planned?
Elvis: No, there's nothing as far as I know, is there Colonel? Anything in the workings?
Colonel Parker: No I can't predict myself.
Elvis: An 8mm Walt Disney Special we're doing next year, I think… I don't know.
There's nothing as far as I know, no.
Q: When you look at your opportunity, what will you do to try to fill up the Astrodome?
Elvis: Well, it'll be the type of stuff that I do. It's a mixture of things, you know. It's a little rock and a little country and western stuff…
Q: Essentially the same stuff that you did at the International Hotel?
Elvis: Yeah, it the same type of thing.
A lot of different type of songs, so I just hope I can put on a good show, mainly.
Q: Whatever happened to the Jordanaires?
Elvis: Can't get them out of
Q: Do you have any thoughts about the rising interest in country music?
Elvis: I think it's fantastic. You see, country music was always a part of the influence on my type of music anyway. It's a combination of country music, gospel, and rhythm and blues. It's all combined, is what it really was. As a child, I was influenced by all of that.
Q: Do you consider yourself basically a country music singer then?
Elvis: I would hate to say strictly country because of the fact that I liked all different types of music when I was a child, you know. Of course, the Grand Ole Opry was the first thing I ever heard, probably, but I liked the blues and I liked the gospel music, gospel quartets, and all that.
Q: Do you ever pull out any of those old records on the Sun label and listen to them at all?
Elvis: They sound funny boy. (Laughing) They got a lot of echo on them, man, I'll tell you. But that's what I mean, I think the overall sound has improved today, you know.
Q: Well, do you think there's more gimmicks today than there were, say fifteen years ago?
Elvis: Well, there's probably more gimmicks, but I think that the engineers have improved and I think that the techniques have improved, of overall recording.
Q: Consideration… further revaluation of your career to get you back in front of live audiences again. In other words, you were available to the public only in your films for a long period of time.
Elvis: I think the most important thing is the inspiration that I got from a live audience. I was missing that.
I didn't…
Q: Was it rough at the International? Was it a little bit of a strain on you after not being on programs?
Elvis: It was always terrible. I enjoyed it. Like, I know I'm going to enjoy it here because it's a live audience and it makes a world of difference.
Q: Let me ask you one thing. What's your father up to these days?
Elvis: He's around here somewhere… Ask him, I don't know Daddy, what are you up to?
Colonel Parker: Mr Presley… Mr Presley? Want you to meet Elvis' father, Mr Vernon Presley.
Q: Could he come right up here and sit down?
Elvis: (Coughs) It's this fresh air, man.
Q: Elvis, there's quite an evidence of sartorial splendour. Does this indicate that the…
Elvis: What? What?
Q: The attire is not one that we're familiar seeing.
Elvis: It was taken from a karate suit, just a regular karate type outfit. (Siren in background) Are they coming to get me? Is that it? (Laughter).
Q: I mean, does this indicate that with your type dress and everything now that you're changing a little bit of style perhaps, in deference to what you did a few years ago?
Elvis: I don't know. I think that you'd have to see the show, you know. It's difficult to tell. I don't feel any different, you know. I don't think the dress has that much to do with it, I got the idea from a karate suit cause I studied karate for a long time and I had them make up a couple of suits like it.
Q: What do you do for relaxation? You said you studied…
Elvis: Karate! If you can relax doing this (Does a few karate chops in the air) I don't know, I read a lot and go horseback riding, and stuff like that.
Q: Do you still live principally in ah…
Elvis:
Q: In that show you have planned for the Dome, do you plan any of the old, old songs, some of the first ones?
Elvis: I'd like to, you know…
Q: Any special ones?
Elvis … Try a couple of them, just to see if they work. I hope I can give them a good show, that's the most important thing… if I can give them a good show then I'll feel like I've done something.
Q: What is the biggest live crowd you've ever performed for?
Elvis: If I am not mistaken, it was

Elvis poem fetches amazing price at auction
The handwritten poem, "Ode to a Robin", was featured in an auction of Presley's possessions at gottahaverockandroll.com.
The scrawled ditty, written on stationery paper, was well known among Presley's most dedicated fans.
Sometimes Presley recited it on stage and the poem was even believed to be on his answering machine at home.
The startling sale figure, though, is no surprise. The jumpsuit Presley wore at his legendary 1972 Madison Square gig fetched $212,588 at auction.
Circle G Ranch
The singing legend's famed Circle G Ranch near Memphis, Tennessee, is up for sale for $6.5million.
Presley owned the 155-acre ranch across the state line in Horn Lake, Mississippi from 1966 to 1971.
Elvis and his wife Priscilla honeymooned at the ranch in 1968.
The ranch is zoned for development and could see residential and commercial properties built on it.
So far realtor Rodger Motz has taken a string of calls from interested buyers, from as far away as Denmark.
