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 Oh, 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
