The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar.   And I am following the river   Down the highway   Through the cradle of the civil war      I'm going to Graceland   In Memphis Tennessee   I'm going to Graceland      Poorboys and Pilgrims with families   And we're all going to Graceland,   And My traveling companion is nine years old   And He is the child from my first marriage,   And 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 notice   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'll say losing love   Is like a window in your heart,   'Cause everybody sees you're blown apart   Everybody hears the wind blow   The sound is Graceland      This girl in Redwood City   Calls herself the human trampoline   And sometimes when I'm falling flying   and tumbling in turmoil I'll think   Oh so this is what she means   She means we're bouncing into Graceland,   She'll losing love   Is like a window in your heart   'Cause everybody sees you're blown apart,   Everybody hears the wind blow      And I may be obliged to defend   Every love and every ending   And maybe there's no obligations now   Maybe I've a reason to believe   We all will be received in Graceland      I'm going to Graceland   I'm going to Graceland   I'm going to Graceland   I'm going to Graceland
