《HIGH WAY 61REVISITED》
Oh God said to abraham kill me a son
Abe said man you must be puttin me on
God said no, abe said what
God say you can do what you wanna but
The next time you see me comin you better run
Well abe said where dyou want this killin done
God said out on highway 61
God said no, abe said what
God say you can do what you wanna but
The next time you see me comin you better run
Well abe said where dyou want this killin done
God said out on highway 61
Well georgia sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare department wouldnt give him no clothes
They asked poor howard where can I go
Howard said theres only one place I know
Sam said tell me quick man I got to run
Oh howard just pointed with his gun
And said that way down highway 61
Well mack the finger said to louie the king
i got 40 red white and blue shoestrings
And a thousand telephone that dont ring.
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?
And louie the king said let me think for a minute son
Then he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to highway 61
Now the 5th daughter on the 12th night
Told the first father that things werent right
my complexion, she says, is much too white
He said come here and step into the light
He said hmm youre right let me tell the 2nd mother this has been done
But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son
And they were both out on highway 61
Now the roving gambler he was very bored
Trying to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said i never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes, i think it can be very easily done
Well just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on highway 61
似乎美国的每一条高速公路都有一首歌，可是无论哪一条都没有61号公路更著名。61号公路从美国南部的New Olreans到美国北部的Hibbing，纵贯美国9个州，直通加拿大。61号公路穿过密西西比三角洲---BLUES音乐的发祥地,在公路两侧诞生了无数的蓝调大师，而61号公路上的孟菲斯更是美国乡村音乐之都。因此，61号公路成为了一条音乐朝圣之路。而著名的马丁路德金的“梦”断61号公路,61号公路也此成为了美国的民权之路。
美国著名的诗人、歌手、民权斗士Bob Dylan同样出生于61号公路上的Duluth。1965年Bob Dylan出版了第四张唱片《HIGH WAY 61REVISITED》。其中的同名歌曲使61号公路声名雀起。
如今，61号公路已经被新的州际公路所代替，那个充满激情与反抗的年代也已随时间远去。但嬉皮文化依然保留在发黄的老照片和Bob Dylan歌声里，任人们凭吊。
