Lyrics
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
