I'm in a light bulb hotel here in Austin
Outside I hear the cold Kentucky rain
It's been a long and lonely from where I've starter

Just to see the mockyside misspell my name
Tonight I play for empty chairs and people
But back home my love she says prayer for me

And to belong she sleeps in like Ranger
Between me and her is all but Tennessee


But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous

She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis


The owner never pay me what he promise
The only autograph I sing was my bar tab

Last week van broke down outside of Austin
To get it run it cost me every dime I had


But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous

She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis


But I may never brace the gates of Graceland
Make the upper stage of the silver screen

But as long as I've got her by my side
I've got everything that I'll ever need


But she loves me like I'm Elvis
She treats me like I just might be the king
She won't mad if I'm never famous

She'll stay up all night just to hear me sing
We may not ever have a mansion in Memphis
But she loves me like I'm Elvis

Yes she loves me like I'm Elvis
