I Try To Think About Elvis Lyrics - Patty Loveless

I'm sorry, I forgot what it 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 and what goes 

Round and round the sky at night 

I try to think about champagne and freight trains 

Slowly rolling out of sight 

I try to focus on the headlines 

And 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 

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 and tattoos 

Sushi bars and saxophones 

I try to think about the talk shows 

And 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
