The Mississippi Delta
Was shining like a National guitar
I am following the river down the highway
Through the cradle of the Civil WarI'm going to Graceland, Graceland
Honey, in Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to GracelandMy traveling companion is nine years old
The child of my first marriage
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received in GracelandShe 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 foreheadAnd she said losing love is like
A window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blowI'm going to Graceland
In Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to GracelandMy traveling companions are ghosts
And empty sockets, ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received in GracelandThere is a girl in Austin Texas
And she calls herself the human trampoline
But sometimes when I'm falling
Flying, tumbling in turmoil
I say this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into GracelandAnd I see losing love is like
A window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blowAnd 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 GracelandAnd I may be obliged to defend
Every love and every end
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received in GracelandGraceland
Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
