Before You Went To Work This Morning

One Of My Real Goals Was To Hear Someone Whistling A Song I'd Written.

There Was A Chance For Me To Write One Song For The Section Where Elvis Sat In His Black Leather Outfit And Sang The Old Hits. At Eight Oclock The Next Morning I Had Written Memories.

Hey Mister, Where You Goin' In Such A Hurry? Don't You Think It's Time You Realize There's A Whole Lot More To Life Than Work And Worry All The Sweetest Things In Life Are Free And They're Right Before Your Eyes? You've Got To Stop And Smell The Roses You've Got To Count Your Many Blessings Every Day You're Gonna Find Your Way To Heaven Is A Rough And Rocky Road If You Don't Stop And Smell The Roses Along The Way

'don't Cry Daddy' Is A Pretty Sad Song. He Got To The End Of It And It Was Just Real Quiet And Elvis Says, 'i'm Gonna Cut That Someday For My Daddy'. And, By God, He Did. He Lived Up To His Word.

It's Pretty Amazing To Me That My First Hit Record Was An Elvis Presley Record.
