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 Memphis, Tennessee I'm going to 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 brushes 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
And there is a girl in New York City Who calls herself the human trampoline And sometimes when I'm falling, stumbling, tumbling in turmoil I say Whoa is this what she means She means we're bouncing into Graceland I see losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees you're blown apart Everybody feels the wind blow
I'm going to Graceland Memphis, Tennessee I'm going to Graceland
