Song Description

Guy messes up a few times, in a funny way. He's a hero in the end.

Lyrics

Nine years old on the side of the road
Ten bucks and a bag of Cheetos
Everything I thought I'd need
Midnight. Brake Lights.
Daddy stormed out with that look in his eyes
I knew what was waiting at home for me
When he said, "Son get your butt in the back seat!"
 
Wasn't my 'Elvis Moment'
Wasn't my finest hour
It looked pretty good on paper
But that wasn't how it all turned out
Wouldn't make Einstein jealous
Looking back I'd have to say
Wasn't my 'Elvis Moment'
Wasn't my brightest day
 
Thunderstorm on the Fourth of July
Smooth move - took the fireworks inside
Nothing's gonna rain on my parade
Fuse lit. Foot slipped.
Ran like Hell as it rolled under my 'Vette
I met a lot of firemen that day
As we watched my garage go up in flames
 
Wasn't my 'Elvis Moment' . . .

I'm still standing after all I've been through
Kept pushing my luck, 'til it led me to....
 
Steam boiling out of a ragtop Jeep
She had grease on her hands and a smudge on her right cheek
I stopped to try to help her out
Car fixed. Real quick.
Got 'Thank-You's' written on my face in her lipstick
Wasn't lookin' for love, but that's what I found
and I can still hear the Chapel bells
and the preacherman saying, "I now pronounce..."       

That was my 'Elvis Moment'
That was my finest hour
Looks really good on paper
My last name - now it's ours
Would've made Einstein jealous
Looking back I'd have to say
That was my 'Elvis Moment'
That was my brightest day

That was my 'Elvis Moment'
That was my finest hour
I'm keepin' her motor running
Ain't no doubt I'm crazy 'bout her
Would've made Einstein jealous
Looking back I'd have to say
That was my 'Elvis Moment'
