My mother cleans Elvis's house   Yeah she and everybody else   Moved to Memphis for the King.   She used to work at the Motel 6   Now she gets free guitar picks   That's how I learned to play and sing.      I've been playing the hotel scene   Lving on my mother's dreams   Strumming underneathe the disco lights   All kinds of people come in   We've got this psychic from Beijing   She read my cards right there that night      And then I dereamed that my soulmate   Was a motel clerk in Jersey   Who had not met me    So why am I in this   Hotel in Memphis    When I just want to kiss    Somebody tonight      My mother doesn't seem to mind   That Elvis isn't still alive   She just toils in memory   She's no hippie, she's no flake   She just thinks that it's her fate   And who am I to disagree      Everybody's got a heart to follow,    Everybody's got to make that call   As I look around the hotel scene   I'm doing pretty good with my band   People come shake my hand   But true love is what i need      So I dream about my soulmate   Who's a motel clerk in Jersey   Who had not met me so why am I in this   Hotel in Memphis    When I just want to kiss    Somebody tonight      So I'm gonna teke the Greyhound   All the way to Jersey   I hope you meet me 'cause   I don't care if i ever get famous   I just want to kiss somebody tonight
