Lyrics:

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,

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 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,

In Graceland 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

(Pause)

Woah in graceland graceland graceland

i'm going to graceland [less...]
