Lyrics
0:41The Mississippi delta
0:43Was shining like a national guitar
0:49I am following the river down the highway
0:52Through the cradle of the Civil War
0:57I'm going to Graceland Graceland
1:00In Memphis Tennessee
1:01I'm going to Graceland
1:06Poorboys and pilgrims with families
1:09And we are going to Graceland
1:14My traveling companion is nine years old
1:18He is the child of my first marriage
1:22But I've reason to believe
1:24We both will be received
1:26In Graceland
1:34She comes back to tell me she's gone
1:38As if I didn't know that
1:40As if I didn't know my own bed
1:46As if I'd never noticed
1:49The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
1:54And she said losing love
1:57Is like a window in your heart
2:01Everybody sees you're blown apart
2:06Everybody sees the wind blow
2:10I'm going to Graceland
2:13Memphis Tennessee
2:14I'm going to Graceland
2:19Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
2:23And we are going to Graceland
2:27And my traveling companions
2:30Are ghosts and empty sockets
2:31I'm looking at ghosts and empties
2:36But I've reason to believe
2:37We all will be received
2:40In Graceland
2:48There is a girl in New York City
2:50Who calls herself the human trampoline
2:56And sometimes when I'm falling flying
2:59Or tumbling in turmoil I say
3:01Whoa so this is what she means
3:03She means we're bouncing into Graceland
3:08And I see losing love
3:11Is like a window in your heart
3:15Everybody sees you're blown apart
3:20Everybody feels the wind blow
3:25In Graceland in Graceland
3:28I'm going to Graceland
3:32For reasons I cannot explain
3:35There's some part of me wants to see Graceland
3:41And I may be obliged to defend
3:43Every love every ending
3:45Or maybe there's no obligations now
3:49Maybe I've a reason to believe
3:51We all will be received
3:53In Graceland
4:16Whoa-oh-oh-oh in Graceland in Graceland in Graceland
4:22I'm going to 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 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 in 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 Whoa-oh-oh-oh in Graceland in Graceland in Graceland I'm going to Graceland
