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 into Graceland |
| And I see losing love |
| Is like a window in your heart |
| Well, everybody sees you're blown apart |
| Everybody sees 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 |
