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

Poor boys and pilgrims with families

And we are going to graceland

My travelling 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 travelling 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

Oh 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

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everbody feels the wind blow

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 got a reason to believe

We all will be received

In Graceland
