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
 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 feels the wind blow
 I'm going to Graceland
 In Memphis, Tennessee
 I'm going to Graceland
 Poorboys and pilgrims with families
 And we are going to Graceland
 My traveling companions are ghosts
 And empty sockets, ghosts and empties
 But I've reason to believe
 We all will be received in Graceland

 There is a girl in Austin Texas
 And she calls herself the 'human trampoline'
 
 Sometimes when I'm falling, flying, tumbling in turmoil
 I say, "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
 Everybody feels the wind blow
 And 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 Graceland
 And 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 Graceland

 Oh-ooh, Graceland, Graceland
 I'm going to Graceland
