Patty Loveless - I Try To Think About Elvis Lyrics

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 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

Oh, 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
