Howard said, there's only one place I know Sounds great man, tell me, I gotta run Howard just pointed with his gun And said, that way, down on sixty-one Well Mack the finger, said Louie the King I've got forty red white and blue shoestrings And a thousand telephone that don't ring You know I can't get rid of these things And he said, now let me think for a minute son He said, yes that can be easily done Just take them down on that sixty-one That highway, highway Highway, highway, highway Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night Told first father that things weren't right My complexion, she said, is much too white He said, come here and stare up into the light He said, mm you're right Let me tell the second mother it's been done But the second mother with the seventh son They were out on that highway sixty-one Now the roving gambler he was very bored Trying to create a next world war And he found a promoter fell off the floor And said, I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yep I think it can be easily done highway Just put some bleachers there out in the sun And have it out on that sixty-one --- Highway '61 Revisited - PJ Harvey
