Willie Nelson - Essential Willie Nelson (2003) - Graceland lyrics

• 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 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 she 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 feels 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
  My traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets ghosts and empties
  But I've reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland
  
  There is a girl in Austin Texas and she calls herself the human trampoline
  Sometimes when I'm falling flying tumbling in turmoil I say this is what she means
  She means we're bouncing into Graceland
  And I see losing love ss like a window in your heart
  Everybody sees you're blown apart everybody feels the wind blow
  And I'm going to Graceland in Memphis Tennessee I'm going to Graceland
  For reasons I cannot explain 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
  Oh oh Graceland I'm going to Graceland
