Like I'm Elvis - Joe Bachman
I'm in a one lightbulb hotel room here in Harlan
Outside I hear the cold Kentucky rain
It's been a long and lonely road from where I started
Just to see the marquis sign mis-spell my name
Tonight I play for more empty chairs than people
Back home I know she's said her prayers for me
In Tupelo she's sleeping like an angel
Between me and her is all of Tennessee
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the King
She won't mind if I'm never famous
She stays up all night just to hear me sing
I may not ever have mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
The owner never paid me what he promised
The only autograph I signed was my bar tab
Last week my van broke down outside of Boston
To get it running cost me every dime I had
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the King
She won't mind if I'm never famous
She stays up all night just to hear me sing
I may not ever have mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
I may never grace the gates of Graceland
See the Opry stage or the Silver Screen
But as long as I have her by my side
I'll have everything I'll ever need
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the King
She won't mind if I'm never famous
She stays up all night just to hear me sing
I may not ever have mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She loves me like I'm Elvis
