61 Highway Blues
I backed on out of Edy Mae’s, fearin’ for my life.
Some fool done pulled a piece on me for messin’ with his wife.

I said, it ain’t me, man. I swear I ain’t that low down so and so.
Lord, that ol’ 61 Highway sure can be a mean ol’ road.

I showed up down at Boss Hall’s place to play a song or two.
Some fool was bent on fightin’, ‘cause he don’t like the way I do.

I tried to run and hide, man, but I wound up toe to toe.
Lord, that ol’ 61 Highway sure can be a mean ol’ road.

One night as I was blowin’ harp down to Tompson’s Grocery,
I noticed a fine lookin’ little girl smilin’ up at me.

I told myself, you mess with that tonight, you’re the biggest fool I know.
Lord, that ol’ 61 Highway sure can be a mean ol’ road.

Lord, that ol’ 61 Highway - That ol’ 61 Highway
That ol’ 61 Highway - Sure can be a mean ol’ road.
