Graceland

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
 Poorboys 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
 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
 Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
 And we are going to Graceland
 And 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
 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 a reason to believe
 We all will be received
 In Graceland
 Graceland, Graceland
