Highway 61 Revisited (Demo - 1999) - Billy Joel

Oh god said to abraham kill me a son

Abe says man u 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

Well abe says where do u want this killin' done

God says out on highway 61

Well georgia sam he had a bloody nose

Welfare department 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 man I got to run

Ol' howard just pointed with his gun

And said that way down on highway 61

All right my friendly baby

Well mack the finger said to louie the king

I got 40 red white and blue shoe strings

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

He said yes I think it can be easily done

Just take everything down to highway 61

Aw breakdown

Now the fifth daughter on the 12th night told the first father

That things weren't right

My complexion she said is much too white

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

Aw but the 2nd mother was with the 7th son & they

Were both out on highway 61

Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored

He was 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
