Joelvis by Coyote Grace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The wind has come to take me down a notch
A peg, or a level or two
The swollen moon has got
Her sights set on me too
The devil sun gonna take me higher
Higher than I ever been before
I told my mama, no
I can’t take no more
I can’t take no more
[Verse 2]
The wind has come to take me down
To the empty farm where I grew up on the land
I build this childhood for a boy
With my own two hands
I look around, them bony trees
And sunken cows, there’s almost snow
Nobody knows nothing
Except what me and the crow do know
[Chorus]
Who am I to change my life?
Who am I to fuck with form?
Who am I to weather a storm?
But I go slow
I said goodbye to everyone I know
And one morning I awoke
And I was this guy named Joe
[Verse 3]
The wind has come to take me down to the field
To dream by the light of the moon
No, there ain’t no coming home
No going back, skipping June
I sit by the water down by the freeway
The coffee is hot and the corn is high
Don’t know what I’m going to do
With myself tonight
[Chorus]
Who am I to change my name?
Some things will always stay the same
There really ain’t no one to blame
Can’t expect nobody to live in that pain
And I know you miss me so
I said goodbye to everyone I know
And one morning I awoke
And I was this guy named Joe
[Refrain]
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
[Verse 1]
Just a country boy, combed his hair
Put on a shirt his mother made and he went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
He shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
Like you never seen, like you never seen
Like you never seen
[Refrain]
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
[Verse 2]
Well he took it all out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
He shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake, with his soul at stake
With his soul at stake
[Refrain]
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
[Verse 3]
He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
And he shook it and it rang like silver
He shook it and it shined like gold
He shook it and it beat that steam drill, baby
Well it blessed my soul, well it blessed my soul
He shook it and it beat that steam drill, baby
Well it blessed my soul, what's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree, on a fuzzy tree
On a fuzzy tree
[Outro]
