Somewhere Down The Crazy River Lyrics

Somewhere Down The Crazy River lyrics

Yea, I can see it now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was
feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know where people play games
with the night
God, it was too hot to sleep
I followed the sound of a
jukebox coming from a levee
All of a sudden I could hear somebody
whistling
Fromright behind me
I turned around and she said
"Why
do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?"
I said "I don't know,
the wind just kind of pushed me this way."
She said "Hang the
rich."

Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look
for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy
river
Catch the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find
me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy
river

Take a picture of this
The fields are empty, abandoned '59
Chevy
Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John
Yea, that's
when time stood still
You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X
And
let her read my mind
She said "That Voodoo stuff don't do nothing for
me."

I'm a man with a clear destination
I'm a man with a broad
imagination
You fog the mind, you stir the soul
I can't find, ... no
control

Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for
me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Catch
the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down the
crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river

Wait, did you hear
that
Oh this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
She said
"There's one thing you've got to learn
Is not to be afraid of
it."
I said "No, I like it, I like it, it's good."
She
said "You like it now
But you'll learn to love is later."

I
been spellbound - falling in trances
I been spellbound - falling in
trances
You give me shivers - chills and fever
I been spellbound -
somewhere down the crazy river
