about

Based on true stories of fan worship, autograph and memorabilia collecting. I would also dedicate the 3rd verse to a feller named Frank.

lyrics

on a road going down to the outskirts of town
there's a lady with an elvis museum
billboard towers over her airstream trailer
& she's sittin' in her yard, behind a card table

hey lady, can i see what you got
take a checklist son, there's quite a lot
she's learned devotion to the king
now i know true worship can be most anything

sun records signed and framed on the wall
between a sink full of dishes and a toilet stall
rhinestone sunglasses in a plexiglass box
a grocery list sittin' on the king's sweat cloth

hey lady, I like what I saw
thanks for the checklist and that psychic guffaw
devotion like yours is rarely seen
now I know true worship can be most anything

up her in new york city
down in the nitty-gritty alley behind the broadway theatre
lived a cult of homeless people
who lived to catch a glimpse of
the stars while they're eating their meals

autograph collections in their cardboard beds
the flies and the famous buzzing around their heads
they've learned devotion to the seen
now i know true worship can be most anything
