One Up On The King

One Up On The King
(Kurt Fortmeyer)
Dad Zone Music ASCAP

No adoring young women throwing panties at me
No live comeback special on network TV
No pill-pushing doctor at my beck and call
I’ve never had those things but I’ve got it all

I’m just a nobody in a ramshackle room
While Elvis lies sleeping in a beautiful tomb
But if you’re not breathing fame don’t mean a thing
I woke up this morning one up on The King

No gold Cadillac no personal plane
No marquee in Vegas lit up with my name
No Hollywood movies no teenage bride
No trip to the White House and nothing to hide

I’m just a nobody in a ramshackle room
While Elvis lies sleeping in a beautiful tomb
But if you’re not breathing fame don’t mean a thing
I woke up this morning one up on The King

This trailer ain’t Graceland but that’s quite alright
I didn’t die on the throne in the middle of the night
Yeah if you’re not breathing fame don’t mean a thing
I woke up this morning one up on The King
I woke up this morning one up on The King
