Gospel, Jesus & Your Blues

Highway 61, a few years ago,
A voice inside keeps yelling at you
You’re such a fool, don’t you know
You’re wasting your life tryin’ to be,
A poet, a folky singer, panhandle boy.

And one day through pains and sorrow you’re there
With an old guitar, under blue light
Singing gospel by Jesus and your blues
Oh! What will you do to get on
Except rely on faith, Oh! just rely… just rely...


So you want to be forever young,
Writing wishes for sooner or later,
Have you yet reached the latest rung
Next step leads to another ladder
That’ll brings you fortunately,
Closer and closer, to the sky,

And one day through pains and sorrow you’re there
With an old guitar, under blue light
Singing gospel by Jesus and your blues
Oh! What will you do to go on
Except rely on faith, except rely… just rely...

On, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on-on
And on, and on

And one day through pains and sorrow you’re there
With an old guitar, under blue light
Singing gospel on Jesus and your blues
Oh! What will you do to go on
Except rely on faith, Oh! just rely … Just rely
On, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on-on
And on, and on
