I Try to Think About Elvis Songtext
von Patty Loveless

Oh, I′m sorry, I forgot where I was
One, two, three, four

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
And what goes 'round and 'round the sky at night
I try to think about the champagne, freight trains
Slowly rolling out of sight
I try to focus on the headlines, the 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

Come on, Patty, get it together

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
