Patti Scialfa - Looking for Elvis lyrics

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 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 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 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 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 I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road I'm looking for Elvis 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 You've got to work a little harder Sing a little stronger Stand up and deliver If you want my trust West of Babylon East of Eden I'm breathing in these winds of change I'm going to rise up from these ashes Gonna rise up and find the truth again I'm just looking for some inspiration I'm 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 I'm looking for Elvis I'm looking for Elvis down a Memphis road I'm looking for Elvis (Rumble Doll Music/2007)
