Graceland

The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar

And 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 and families

And we are going to Graceland

My traveling companion is nine years old

He is the child of my first marriage

I've a reason to believe

We both will be received

In Graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone

As if I never know that

As if I never knew my own bed

As if I'd never notice

The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she says  "Losing love

Is like a window in your heart

And everybody sees you're blown apart

And everybody feels the wind blow"

I'm going to Graceland

Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

Poor boys and pilgrims and families

And we are going to Graceland

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's a girl in New York City

Who calls herself the human trampoline

And sometimes when I'm falling, I'm flying

Or tumbling into turmoil, I say

"Oh, well, this is what she means"

She means we're bouncing into Graceland

And she says, "Losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

And everybody sees the wind blow"

I'm going to Graceland

Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

For reasons I cannot explain

There's some part of me wants to see Graceland

I may be obliged to defend

Every love and every ending

Or maybe there's no obligations now

Maybe I've a reason to believe

We all will be received

In Graceland

I'm going to Graceland
