Willie Nelson - Graceland lyrics
[Willie Nelson - 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
Poor boys 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
Poor boys 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 is 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
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
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
Poor boys 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 is 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
