Graceland

Well, the Mississippi Delta

Is shining like a national guitar

I'm following the highway down the river

Through the cradle of the Civil War

I'm going to Graceland

Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee

I'm going to Graceland

Poor boy pilgrims with families and we are going to Graceland

And my traveling companion

He's nine years old

And he's the child of my first marriage and

And I have reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland

And she comes back and tells me she's gone

As if I didn't know that

As if I didn't know my own bed

As if I never noticed the way she combs her hair off her forehead

And she says losing love is just a window in your heart

Everybody sees you blown apart and everybody sees the wind blowin'

Whoa, oh, Graceland, I'm going to Graceland

Poor boy pilgrims with families and we are going to Graceland

And my traveling companion

These ghosts and empty sockets

I'm looking at ghosts of empties

And I have reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland

Now there's a girl in New York City

She calls herself the human trampoline

Whenever I am falling, flying, tumbling in turmoil

I say, oh, so this is what she means

She means we're bouncing into Graceland

And she says losing love is just a window in your heart

Everybody sees you blown apart and everybody sees the wind blowin'

Whoa, oh, Graceland, I'm going to Graceland

And I may be obliged to defend every love, every ending

Or maybe there's no obligations now

Reasons I cannot explain, there's some part of me

Wants to see Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

Going to Graceland
