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 she 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 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 both 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 ss 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 every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe we all will be received in 
Graceland
Oh oh Graceland I'm going to Graceland
