I Try To Think About Elvis

This one was so much fun! When this song was released in 1994, I remember trying to keep up with the lyrics and sing along. It always gets my toes tapping!

I Try To Think About Elvis
Written by Gary Burr
Performed by Patty Loveless

I try to think about Elvis, Memphis,
Oprah in the afternoon
I try to think about palm trees, fig leaves,
The creature from 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, what goes
Round and round the sky at night
I try to think about champagne, freight trains
Slowly rolling out of sight
I try to focus on the headlines, street crimes
Every time I think I might
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days.

My mind wanders where it will
And when it settles right on you
I forget what I should say
I forget what I should do

My mind wanders where it will
And when it settles right on you
I forget what I should say
I forget what I should do

I try to think about Shakespeare, 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 have known
I just can't concentrate
You're all I think about these days
You're all I think about these days.
