Tryin' to Get to You Lyrics - Elvis Presley
Review The Song (4)
(words & music by C. Singleton - R.M. McCoy)
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.
Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
baby, trying to get to you
When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.
I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that I've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.
Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And I'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.
Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true
Lord above me knows I love you
It was He who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine His brightest light,
When I was trying to get to you.
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.
Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
baby, trying to get to you
When I read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.
I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that I've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.
Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And I'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.
Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true
Lord above me knows I love you
It was He who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine His brightest light,
When I was trying to get to you.

Elvis does it again | Reviewer: Ings | 8/25/2007
Another one of those songs in which The King is able to squeeze out every melodical and emotional drop. I watched him perform it in the '68 comeback special the other night. 40-years later this song, and that show, still serve as a reminder that Elvis was the greatest of all time.

Great song | Reviewer: Wally | 8/17/2007
First done by the 50s Eagles, not the same as today's Eagles. Elvis copied the record exactly, especially the true, u, u, u part.

Trying to get to you | Reviewer: Juan Rodríguez | 4/14/2006
This song has some king of magic I just cant define; it is like a dejavú from a dream,; the rock´n´roll at dawn somewhere in countryside of the 50´s USA. Does somebody know if there is a web site where I can find the chords for guitar for this songs from the RCA album?
