Porch Swing in Tupelo

Porch Swing in Tupelo

"Porch Swing in Tupelo" is a song from British pop-rock performer Elton John's 2004 album, "Peachtree Road". The song talks about Elvis Presley's childhood and upbringing and describes Tupelo, Mississippi.

The inspiration for Taupin's lyric came when he visited Tupelo and sat on the porch swing at the house Elvis Presley grew up at.
