Graceland - Dan Bern

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 ...
