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 in Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poorboys and pilgrims with families and we are going to

Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old 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 she 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 feels the wind
blow
I'm going to Graceland Graceland in Memphis Tennessee

I'm going to Graceland
Poorboys and pilgrims with families and we are going to
Graceland

My traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets ghosts and
empties
But I've reason to believe we both will be received in

Graceland

There is a girl in Austin Texas and she calls herself the human

trampoline
Sometimes when I'm falling flying tumbling in turmoil I say
this is what she means

She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love ss like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart everybody feels the wind

blow
And I'm going to Graceland in Memphis Tennessee I'm
going to Graceland

For reasons I cannot explain 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

Oh oh Graceland I'm going to Graceland
