I Try To Think About Elvis - 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

Everytime I think I might

I just can't concentrate

You're all I think about these days

My mind wanders where it will

When it settles right on you

I forget what I should say

I forget what I should do

My mind wanders where it will

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-do's

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
