Graceland
The Mississippi Delta was shiningLike a National guitarI am following the riverDown the highwayThrough the cradle of the civil war
I'm going to GracelandGracelandIn Memphis, TennesseeI'm going to GracelandPoorboys and pilgrims with familiesAnd we are going to GracelandMy travelling companion is nine years oldHe's the child of my first marriageBut I've reason to believeWe both will be receivedIn Graceland
She comes back to tell me she's goneAs if I didn't know thatAs if I didn't know my own bedAs if I'd never noticedTe way she brushed her hair from her foreheadAnd she said losing loveIs like a window in your heartEverybody sees you're blown apartEverybody sees the wind blow
I'm going to GracelandGracelandIn Memphis, TennesseeI'm going to GracelandPoorboys and pilgrims with familiesAnd we are going to GracelandMy travelling companionsAre ghosts and empty socketsI'm looking at ghosts and emptiesBut I've reason to believeWe all will be receivedIn Graceland
There's a girl in New York CityWho calls herself the human trampolineAnd sometimes when I'm falling, flyingOr tumbling in turmoil I sayOh, so this is what she meansShe means we're bouncing into GracelandAnd I see losing loveIs like a window in your heartEverybody sees you're blown apartEverybody feels the wind blow
In Graceland, in GracelandI'm going to GracelandFor reasons I cannot explainThere's some part of me wants to see GracelandAnd I may be obliged to defendEvery love, every endingOr maybe there's no obligations nowMaybe I've a reason to believeWe all will be receivedIn Graceland
