Well, God said to abraham kill me a son
Abe said man, you must be putting me on
God said no
Abe said wha? t
God said you do what you want to, abe but
The next time you see me coming, you'd better run
Abe said where do you want this killing done?
God said out on that highway 61

Well, georgia sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare department would give him no clothes
He asked poor howard where can I go?
Howard said there's only one place I know
Sam said quick man, tell me, I got to run
Howard just pointed with his gun
He said that way down on 61

Well, mack the finger said louie the king
I got 40 red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that won't ring
You know where I can get rid of these things?
And he said now let me think for a minute son
Said yes that can be easily done
Just take them down on that 61

That highway
Highway x4

Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the 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
And said mmm 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 61

Now, the roving gambler was very bored
Trying to create the next world war
And he found a promoter, fell on the floor
And said I've never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yep, I think it can be easily done
Highway
We'll just put some bleachers there out in the sun
Have it out on that 61
