Elvis Blues (Owed to Chickenbutt)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] May gypsies guide your footsteps And angels wind your watch Never wrestle with my cousin When he's drinkin' scotch Bait your hook with red worms Skate in empty pools Remember vanity is the luxury of fools [Chorus] And be yourself that's what you're good at Let your soul seep through your skin When you're stuck inside a double-wide with the Elvis blues my friend [Verse 2] Dream and read and travel every chance you get Burn to remember And learn to forget Walk away from trouble Whеn it ain't worth dying for Run back on the double to settlе up the score [Chorus] And be yourself that's what you're good at Let your soul seep through your skin When you're stuck inside a double-wide with the Elvis blues darling [Verse 3] Fill your mind with beauty And kill your fear with truth Always do your duty and never explain your tattoos Hell never tell 'em nothin' And ask 'um even less Let 'em think you're bluffin' dress in pink to make 'um guess [Chorus] And be yourself that's what you're good at Let your soul seep through your skin When you're stuck inside a double-wide with the Elvis blues darling [Verse 4] Easy ain't worth tryin' Hard ain't worth tryin' more The only tear worth cryin' is true love walking out the door Darlin' when you fall Fall face first on your ass Don't make yourself small for anyone just know this soon will pass Now go beyond the shadows Beyond science and design Through love and truth and music Out into the sweet divine [Chorus] And be yourself that's what you're good at Let your soul seep through your skin When you're stuck inside a double-wide with the Elvis blues again [Outro] And be yourself that's what you're good at It's all that matters in the end Well that, and Willie Nelson, and old Mozart now and then
