Mississippi Delta shining like a National guitar |
|
Paul Simon wrote that song about Graceland while driving in his car |
|
Mark Cohn wrote that other one |
|
It was a big hit it made Mark Cohn real |
|
I'm walking in Memphis do I really feel the way I feel? |
|
Well look at me Lord I am at Graceland |
|
On a Saturday afternoon |
|
I threw up last night at a rest stop |
|
From eating cheese grits at the Waffle House |
|
I felt like hell then, I feel all right now |
|
I am at Graceland and I feel all right |
|
I know that Graceland has sacred meaning |
|
Deep, deep meaning for lots of people |
|
For me it don't mean all that much |
|
Okemah means more that's |
|
Woody Guthrie's home |
|
I don't have shrines to Elvis Presley |
|
On the dashboard of my RV |
|
I haven't spotted Elvis lately |
|
In the tool section of the Wal-Mart |
|
But I travel around the country |
|
Playing my guitar for whoever will listen |
|
So I'm at Graceland, |
|
I am at Graceland |
|
I am at Graceland and I feel all right |
|
He had the coolest shoes |
|
He had the coolest hair |
|
He sang the coolest songs |
|
He made the coolest movies |
|
He moved his hips like wheat fields waving |
|
He was even cool in the army |
|
Well look at me Lord I am at Graceland ... |
