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 woulda 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 Chorus And if I make it to the mornin' I shoulda come with a warnin' And if I make it to the stage I'll show you what it means To be saved Verse 2 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 Chorus If I make it to the mornin' I shoulda come with a warnin' And if I make it to the stage I'll show you what it means To be saved Bridge 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, beggin' to be born But, oh, I guess I got my wish But anything, anything, anything but this Chorus If I make it to the mornin' I shoulda come with a warnin' 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 Outro To be spared To be spared To be spared To be spared
