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 
Poor boys 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 
Poor boys 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 sees 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
