Cryin' Elvis

Oh there’s a cryin’ Elvis Looking down on the stage at me tonight I’m in some random bar In this very un-random life His eyes are squinted His sideburns thick and full Thirty years of hard living Corroded all around his skull Chorus: Jesus they say you’re coming back And that Elvis never left it’s an act But you both left tears down in your tracks Billy Batson yelled Shazam And lightning’d strike him where he'd stand Had Captain Marvel to lend his hand Hardwood boards upon my floor But I can’t feel ‘em anymore Though my bare feet have been exposed Ears are ringing in my head But I heard that rock n’ roll was dead Guess these ole ears have heard too many shows Chorus: But Hank you’re never coming back But the trains still hot upon them tracks And your long gone lonesome daddy’s gone now Jack And Johnny’s gone now that’s a fact The cash is spent with no change back And how can the circle remain intact Boxes in the corner stacked Packed neatly all intact But what good is storage for Milk crates stacked up in there tight My vinyl records slid inside But things don’t sound like they did before Chorus: Natty Bumpo cleared a path out West Through our minds and the wilderness But these days hatchets are worth much less And Captain America helped to win the big war Then got froze and sent up North And woke up to a world he didn’t know no more Oh there’s a cryin’ Elvis Looking down on the stage at me tonight I’m in some random bar In this very un-random life
