Memphis

My mother cleans Elvis's house
 Yeah she and everybody else
 Moved to Memphis for the King.
 She used to work at the Motel 6
 Now she gets free guitar picks
 That's how I learned to play and sing.
 I've been playing the hotel scene
 Lving on my mother's dreams
 Strumming underneathe the disco lights
 All kinds of people come in
 We've got this psychic from Beijing
 She read my cards right there that night
 And then I dereamed that my soulmate
 Was a motel clerk in Jersey
 Who had not met me
 So why am I in this
 Hotel in Memphis
 When I just want to kiss
 Somebody tonight
 My mother doesn't seem to mind
 That Elvis isn't still alive
 She just toils in memory
 She's no hippie, she's no flake
 She just thinks that it's her fate
 And who am I to disagree
 Everybody's got a heart to follow,
 Everybody's got to make that call
 As I look around the hotel scene
 I'm doing pretty good with my band
 People come shake my hand
 But true love is what i need
 So I dream about my soulmate
 Who's a motel clerk in Jersey
 Who had not met me so why am I in this
 Hotel in Memphis
 When I just want to kiss
 Somebody tonight
 So I'm gonna teke the Greyhound
 All the way to Jersey
 I hope you meet me 'cause
 I don't care if i ever get famous
 I just want to kiss somebody tonight
