I Try to Think About Elvis

(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...
