Lyrics for Song: I Try to Think About Elvis
Lyrics for Album: Classics [Epic] [1999]
(Gary Burr)
(Oh, I'm sorry I forgot where I was.)
I Try to think about Elvis,
Memphis, Oprah in the afternoon
I try to think about palm trees, fig leaves
The creature of the black lagoon.
I try to think about high heels and good deals
Anything to get me through
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days.
I try to contemplate the cosmos
And what goes round and round the sky at night
I try to think about champagne, freight trains,
Slowly rollin' out of sight.
I try to focus on the headlights, and street crimes
Everytime I think I might
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days.
My mind wonders where it will
And when it settles right on you
I forget what I should say
I forget what I should do.
--- Instrumental ---
My mind wonders where it will
And when it settles right on you
I forget what I should say
I forget what I should do.
(Ugh, come on Patty get it together.)
I try to think about Shakespeare and Leap Year,
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones
I try to think about hair dos, tattoos,
Sushi bars and saxophones.
I try to think about the talk shows, new clothes
But I guess I should've known
I just can't concentrate,
You're all I think about these days.
You're all I think about these days...
