Mark Cohn wrote this song after traveling to Memphis to check out Graceland, which is Elvis Presley’s mansion and a kitschy tourist destination. The lyrics, “Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale” refers to Beale Street, an actual street in Memphis. Riley B. King became known as the “Beale Street Blues Boy” shortly after he first arrived in Memphis.
Lonestar released a cover version of the song which reached #8 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 2003.
