From: “Elvis: As Recorded at Madison Square Garden” (1972) [Verse] Well I’ve never been to Spain But I kinda like the music Say the ladies are insane there And they sure know how to use it They don’t abuse it Never gonna loose it I can’t refuse it [Verse] Well I’ve never been to England But I kind of like the Beatles So I headed for Las Vegas Only made it out to Needles I got the feeling I must be near it Oh feels so good... oh feel so good [Verse] Well I’ve never been to heaven But I’ve been in Oklahoma Well they tell me I was born there But I really don’t remember In Oklahoma or Arizona Yeah what does it matter what does it matter [Solo] | | % | | % | | | % | | % | [Verse] Well I’ve never been to Spain But I kinda like the music Say the ladies are insane there And they sure know how to use it They don’t abuse it Never gonna loose it I can’t refuse it [Verse] Well I’ve never been to heaven But I’ve been in Oklahoma Well they tell me I was born there But I really don’t remember In Oklahoma or Arizona Yeah what does it matter what does it matter [Outro] In Oklahoma or Arizona Yeah what does it matter What does it matter

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, le narrateur exprime son désir de voyager dans des endroits comme l'Espagne et l'Angleterre, tout en reconnaissant qu'il n'y est jamais allé. Il évoque son attrait pour la musique espagnole et les Beatles, et se retrouve finalement à Las Vegas, sans jamais atteindre vraiment ses destinations rêvées. Il réfléchit également à son passé, en mentionnant l'Oklahoma, où il prétend être né, mais ne se souvient pas vraiment. Sa quête semble moins être une recherche des lieux que des sensations et des expériences liées à la musique et à la vie. Le tout est teinté d'une certaine légèreté, évoquant un voyage intérieur plus qu'un véritable périple géographique.
