Loading...

verse one:
i headed east on 1-40
memphis-bound, home of the king
showed up sober, that didn’t last
sneakin’ sips from a silver flask
k!llin’ time at the gift shop
bought my mama an elvis clock
back to the chapel, right on time
you and your bride were lookin fine

chorus
in graceland
in graceland
in the heart of mem-
memphis tennessee
you were mine
now i guess you’re hers
what happened
in between?

verse two:
dixie born
southern fried
lived down the street
most of our lives
i loved you
best way i knew how
should’ve done better
i’d still have you now

chorus
in graceland
in graceland
in the heart of mem-
memphis tennessee
you were mine
now you’ve up and left
what did i do
to cause this theft?

verse three:
senator’s daughter
eyes set on you
really couldn’t blame her
but i thought you’d stay true
white knuckles on the last pew
in the little church on site
i got a back row seat to
watch y’all ruin my life

chorus
in graceland
in graceland
in the heart of mem-
memphis tennessee
you were mine
now you’ve chosen her
now i’m all alone
my life is a blur

verse four:
preacher says “speak now, or
forever hold your peace.”
i held my tongue, but
willed my heart to cease
“just married” sign hangin’ in back
drivin’ away in a pink cadillac
don’t be fooled by the dress and pearls
you just married the wrong girl

chorus
in graceland
in graceland
in the heart of mem-
memphis tennessee
she has money
you just have my heart
that ain’t worth nothing
since we been apart

verse five:
strummin’ on my six string
cheap hotel room
leavin’ in the mornin’
what else is there to do?
got me feelin’ like priscilla
as i drive away
shoulda done things different
maybe then you’d’ve stayed

chorus
in graceland
in graceland
in the heart of mem-
memphis tennessee
you were mine
now i guess you’re hers
i belong now
to my bottle of liquor
