Charlie Musselwhite - Where Hwy 61 Runs lyrics

Well you know blues overtook me when I was a little child Now the world is my home, mile after mile Now people let me tell you where highway 61 runs It runs from my back door down to the setting sun Well, when I go down to the river Thats when I like to be alone Blues is my companion, and a friend I've always known Well I look into the sky, but there's cloud behind my eyes Blues is my companion though my soul has survived Well highway 61 is where blues was given birth And your soul can catch a feeling rising up from mother earth Well you'll never be the same, and you'll never be alone And the blues is your companion, and the world is your own
