Just Like Elvis — Thousand Island Sun
They say he was the talk of the town, in a place called Eilot he was born and raised
Put me on his shoulders, spin me all around, said boy, this’ll be your world someday
He had some fun, then he met my mom, had my sister then yours truly
But life happened and they didn’t last very long, I guess his heart belonged to that town on the sea
And I still remember after he was gone, the twinkle in Mom’s eye when she would tell me
In his younger days he looked just like Elvis
Always was a rolling stone and never could help it
Said to me boy never be anybody else but
an honest man and learn to carry yourself son
So I took off, I wanted to feel the wild world, I wanted to know what I was made of
Swore I something in the eyes of a girl, and I thought once I found love
But when I blinked I found that it was gone, and I missed the warmth of home, safe and sound
But I learned quickly to keep moving on, thought about him when I began to doubt
Myself and see my youth for a relic
I became a rolling stone as a way to help it
But he told me once boy never be anybody else but
an honest man and learn to carry yourself son
A little bit of time has passed, I’m a little older now, but I still don’t feel grown up
But I guess that’s how it goes, and I guess I knew somehow, and I am thankful that life has filled my cup
But I still wonder, when the waves are rollin’ in, if he ever found his way back to that town
Oh back home and ridin’ on the wind, if home is a place that can really be found
Oh Dad tell us
What it’s like to be a man and stand in a world without shelter
I remember the old house before mom had to sell it
Whenever I feel the waves of change start to swell up
