The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a national guitar
(Pool in the hotel)
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war,
I’m going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
(Beale Street in downtown Memphis)
I’m going to Graceland,
Poorboys
(Kyle eating ribs)
and pilgrims with families
(People waiting for a concert)
And we are going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There’s some part of me wants to see
Graceland,
(Graceland)
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love every ending
Or maybe there’s no obligations now,
(Elvis Presley’s living room)
Maybe I’ve a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland
(Elvis Presley’s grave)
Whoa in Graceland,
Graceland,
Graceland,
I’m going to Graceland
–Paul Simon
