Graceland

The Mississippi Delta was shining like a national guitar

I am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the civil war

I'm going to Graceland, Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee

I'm going to Graceland

Poor boys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to Graceland

My traveling companion is nine years old

He is the child of my first marriage

But I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone

As if I didn't know that

As if I didn't know my own bed

As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said, "Losing love is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow"

I'm going to Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee

I'm going to Graceland

Poor boys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to Graceland

And my traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets

I'm looking at ghosts and empties

But I've reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland

There is a girl in New York City who calls herself the human trampoline

And sometimes when I'm falling, flying or tumbling in turmoil I say

"Whoa, so this is what she means"

She means we're bouncing in the Graceland

And I see losing love is like a window in your heart

Well, everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody feels the wind blow

Ooh, ooh, ooh

In Graceland, in Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

For reasons, I cannot explain

There's some part of me wants to see Graceland

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

Or maybe there's no obligations now

Maybe I've a reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland

Whoa, oh, oh

In Graceland, in Graceland, in Graceland

I'm going to Graceland
