Lyric 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 recieved
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 id 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
Graceland
In 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 will all be recieved
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 oblidged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there s no obligations now
Maybe I ve reason to believe
We will all be recieved
In Graceland
