The Band - Somewhere Down The Crazy River lyrics

Yeah, 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 up the 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 it 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
