Lyrics

Memphis

There was a dream

I had it too

You could see it

Coming true

It would travel

In the air

You could make it

If you dared

Now the sun goes down over Dolly Parton bridge

The one time home of soul takes our country's final breath

I guess it takes

More than a man

More than a dream

For such a fight

Graceland is a ghost town tonight

This ain't a trip

With my son

There's no guitar

Shines in the sun

Those days are gone

May new ones come

Before it's all just

A museum

Now the sun goes down over Dolly Parton bridge

The one time home of soul takes our country's final breath

I guess it takes

More than a king

More than a song

For such a fight

Graceland is a ghost town tonight

I guess it's been a long decline

God bless the souls that shook up mine

Graceland is a ghost town

Graceland is a ghost town

Graceland is a ghost town tonight
