Dan Bern - Graceland lyrics

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 Yes, 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 One for the money Two for the show Three to get ready Go, cat, go 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 Look at me Lord Look at me Lord On a Saturday afternoon I am at Graceland I am at Graceland On a Saturday afternoon Look at me Lord I am at Graceland On a Saturday afternoon
