Like I'm Elvis

Like I'm Elvis I'm in a one light bulb hotel room here in Harlan Outside I hear the cold Kentucky rain It's been a long and lonely road from where I've started Just to see the marquee sign misspell my name Tonight I play for more empty chairs than people But back home I know she said a prayer 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'll stay up all night just to hear me sing We may not ever have a 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 When the van broke down again I almost lost it 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'll stay up all night just to hear me sing We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis But she loves me like I'm Elvis But I may never gaze the gates of Graceland Make the opry stage or the silver screen But as long as I've got her by my side I've have everything I'll ever need Because 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'll stay up all night just to hear me sing We might not ever have a mansion in Memphis But she loves me like I'm Elvis Yes she loves me like I'm Elvis
