Lyrics:

Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the king
The more I drank from it, the less I saw of you
That bottle's empty now and you and I are through

When you gave me the king of gifts, I didn't know what to say
Except a hundred and thirty dollars in an awful lot to pay
For a girl like you who doesn't make much money anyway
But you cared enough to put away a little every day

For that Elvis decanter
The one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love
An empty likeness of the king
If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing?
From the Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me

They told me I should save it, it'd be worth something someday
But me, I couldn't wait and that king of rock got lighter everyday
Soon it was half empty, I was half as close to you
Then I drank the rest, and should've guessed I drank our loving too

Oh, that Elvis decanter
The one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love
An empty likeness of the king
If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing?
From the Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me

In the name of Elvis
Why did you have to leave?
When I love you
And I need you desperately tonight

Oh, that Elvis decanter
The one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love
An empty likeness of the king
If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing?
From the Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
