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
