Morning Elvis

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've understood

Why I never made it to Graceland

Bathroom towels were cool against my head

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've 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 cores 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've come with a warning

And 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 all the 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've come with a warning

But 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
