Patty Loveless - I Try to Think About Elvis lyrics

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
