Looking For Elvis

[Verse 1]

Warm black asphalt

South of nowhere

I'm going there under a dirty cotton sky

When the rain comes round

I roll my window down

I lift my face to heaven

And wash these tears from my eyes

[Chorus]

I'm just looking for some inspiration

I'm looking for something to rock my soul

I'm looking for a brand new destination

I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road

I'm looking for Elvis

[Verse 2]

I remember

All those Septembers

The pledges of allegiance

The prayers of trust

I slept on those beds of hope and promise

Woke up choking on cheap paint and carnival dust

[Verse 3]

So where are you now

With all those illusions

Fallen dreams and charity

If faith restores you

And truth delivers

Then don't tell me that I'm standing

When I'm on my knees

[Chorus]

I'm just looking for some inspiration

Looking for something to rock my soul

I'm looking for a brand new destination

I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road (Elvis)

I'm looking for Elvis (Looking for Elvis)

I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road

I'm looking for Elvis

[Bridge]

You've got to give yourself over now

Roll like a river stone

There's mud in the water

There's gravel in the dust

Work a little harder

Sing a little stronger

Stand up and deliver

If you want my trust (My trust, my trust, my trust)

[Verse 3]

West of Babylon

East of Eden

I'm breathing in these winds of change

I'm gonna rise up from these ashes

Gonna rise up and find the truth again

[Chorus]

I'm just looking for some reparations

Looking for love to soothe my soul

I'm at the crossroads of my destination and

I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road (Elvis)

I'm looking for Elvis (Looking for Elvis)

I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road

I'm looking for Elvis

I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road (Elvis)

I'm looking for Elvis (Looking for Elvis)

I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road

[Post-Chorus]

Gotta give yourself over now

Roll like a river stone

Mud in the water

Gravel in the dust

Gotta work a little harder

Sing a little stronger

Stand up and deliver

If you want my trust

Give yourself over now

Roll like a river stone

Mud in the water

Gravel in the dust

[Harmonica Outro: Bruce Springsteen]

(Hey!)

(Hey!)

(Hey!)

(Aaah)
