Graceland

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
