Graceland

Well, the Mississippi Delta is shining like a National guitar

I am following the highway down the river 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

And I've reason to believe

We all will be received in Graceland

And 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 combs her hair off her forehead

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

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow

Oh Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

Poor boys and Pilgrims with families

And we are going to Graceland

And my traveling companion is ghosts in empty sockets

I'm looking at ghosts of empties

And I've reason to believe

We all will be received in Graceland

Now, there is a girl in New York City

She calls herself the human trampoline

When I'm falling, flying

And tumbling in turmoil I say whoa awesome, this is what she means

She means we're bouncing into Graceland

She says losing love is just a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow

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

For reasons I cannot explain, there's some part of me wants to see Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

I'm going to Graceland
