john mellencamp – highway 61 revisited lyrics

god said to abraham, “k!ll me a son”
abe said, “man, you must be puttin’ me on”
god say, “no.”
abe say, “what?”
god say, “you can do what you want, abe, but
the next time you see me comin’ you better run”
abe said, “where you want this k!llin’ done?”
god said, “on highway 61”

georgia sam, he had a bl++dy nose
welfare department, they wouldn’t give him no clothes
he asked poor howard, “where can i go?”
howard said, “there’s only one place i know”
sam said, “tell me quick, son, i got to run”
howard just pointed with his gun
and said, “that way, on highway 61”

mack the finger said to louie the king
“i got forty red, white and blue shoestrings
and a thousand telephones that don’t ring
do you know where i can get rid of these things?”
and louie the king said, “let me think for a minute, son”
and he said, “yes, i think it can be easily done!
just take down on highway 61”

now, the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
told the first father that things weren’t right
“my complexion,” she says “is much too light”
he said, “come here and step into the light”
he says, “hmm you’re right
let me tell the second mother this has been done”
but the second mother was with the seventh son
and they were both out on highway 61
the texas gambler, he was very bored
tryin’ to create a next world war
he found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
he said, “i never engaged in this kind of thing before
but, yes, i think it can be very easily done
we’ll just put some bleachers out in the sun
and have it on highway 61”

highway 61
highway 61
yeah, yeah, yeah
