Morning Elvis (Acoustic)

When they dressed me and they put me on a plane to Memphis, well

I never got to see Elvis

I just sweated it out in a hotel room

But I think the King would have understood why I

Never made it to Graceland

The bathroom tiles were cool against my hand

I pressed my forehead to the floor and prayed for a trapdoor

I've been here many times before

But I've never made it to Graceland

And if I make it to the morning

I should have come with a warning

And if I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means

To be saved

Well, pick me up in New Orleans, pinned in a bathroom stall

Pick me up above my body, press my corpse against the wall

I told the band to leave without me, I'll

Get the next flight and I'll see you all with Elvis

If I don't survive the night

If I make it to the morning

I should have come with a warning

If I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means

To be saved

And after every tour, I swear I'll quit

It's over, boys, now this is it

But the call, it always comes

And the songs like children, begging to be born

But, oh, I guess I got my wish

But anything, anything, anything but this

If I make it to the morning

I should have come with a warning

And if I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means

To be saved

Oh, you know I'm still afraid

I'm still crazy and I'm still scared

But if I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means

To be spared

To be spared

To be spared

To be spared

To be spared
