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, 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
 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 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
 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
 "Whoa, so this is what she means"
 She means we're bouncing in the Graceland
 And I see losing love is like a window in your heart
 Well, everybody sees you're blown apart
 Everybody feels the wind blow
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
 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
