Where Hwy 61 Runs Songtext
von Charlie Musselwhite

Well, you know, blues overtook me when I was a little child
Now the world is my home, mile after mile
Now people, let me tell you where Highway 61 runs
It runs from my backdoor down to the settin′ sun


Well, well, I go down to the river, that's where I like to be alone
Blues is my comforter, and a friend I well know
Well, I look into the sky, but there′s cloud behind my eyes
Well, blues is my companion, though my soul has survived

Well, now head south on 61 to west, blues was given birth
And your soul can catch that feeling rising up from mother Earth
Well, you'll never be the same, and you'll never be alone
Well, now blues is your companion, and the world is your home
