SHE NEVER GETS SICK OF ELVIS (LYRICS TO A 3-CHORD COUNTRY SONG)

 Lyrics to an attempt at a three-chord country song written by me several years ago. When you strum, it kinda works.

 

Chorus

She never gets sick of Elvis

But she sure gets sick of me.

She says she gets lonesome at night,

That's something I can't see.

She says: "He's in my CD rack,

No, of course, he's not dead,

He's in my speakers singing,

Performing in my head."

I met her in the 50s,

When Elvis changed the world.

I was her only boy

And she was my only girl

 

We danced a lot to Hound Dog

And our love was tender too,

But now she taunts my wooden heart

And there's not much I can do.

 

Chorus

She never gets sick of Elvis

But she sure gets sick of me.

She says she gets lonesome at night,

That's something I can't see.

She says: "He's in my CD rack,

No, of course, he's not dead,

He's in my speakers singing,

Performing in my head."

Our walls are full of pictures

Of Elvis through the years.

She loves to sing the songs

While I like drinking beers.

 

Elvis when I wake up,

Sunrise to sundown,

He's her king of rock and roll

And I'm her jester clown.

 

Chorus

She never gets sick of Elvis

But she sure gets sick of me.

She says she gets lonesome at night,

That's something I can't see.

She says: "He's in my CD rack,

No, of course, he's not dead,

He's in my speakers singing,

Performing in my head."
