Music Monday: I try to think about...well, not Elvis.

ConGregate 2025 is in the books and I'm knackered. But before I go sleep, let me leave you with one of the best songs to sing along to in the car on I-85 in SO MUCH TRAFFIC... (lyrics below)




I try to think about Elvis
by Patty Loveless

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot where I was

One, two, three, four
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 the champagne, freight trains
Slowly rolling out of sight
I try to focus on the headlines, the 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

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
