Memphis Songtext

von The Milk Carton Kids

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
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
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
