Kentucky Rain does it for me. I remember listening to this song as a kid when it first came out, and picturing everything as he was singing it. What's your favorite song as far as a story line? Long Black Limousine also comes to mind.

"My Way" and "Seperate Ways" are favorites for me.

Great story of animals living together in peaceful harmony on a farm. Gets me every time ...
But seriously though, folks ...
As for narrative type stories in Elvis' songs, I do like Kentucky Rain.
And it reminds me of - I kid you not here! - a country singer I used to date called Mary-Lou. That and Trying To Get To You were her favourite Elvis songs.
Oh, to be young again ....
... not!

Bitter they are harder they fall
Also Seperate ways, If i can dream, Long black limousine, Its over, And many more.
[Royalties come and go....... But there is only one man we always call THE KING
I'll be shot for this but Softly As I Leave You.................Lovin' Arms a close second.
Ok, mine will have to be 'Long Black Limousine' and 'Softly as i leave you' !
Some great answers gang. It's Over is another song that comes to mind!
Two personal favourites of mine are "I Met Her Today" and "Something Blue" both from Pot Luck. Both of them great "story" songs.
Something I enjoy doing is putting an Elvis album in the car when I have to drive a long journey, I really hear the lyrics when I'm in the car cause there's nothing else to distract me (well except for other cars, etc, etc :p)
