Karaoké Somewhere Down the Crazy River Robbie Robertson

Yeah I can see it now

The distant red neon shivered in the heat

I was feelin' 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 comin' from a levee

All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistlin' from right behind me

I turned around and she said

Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe

I said Uh

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

Ooh

Catch the blue train all the way to Kokomo

You can find me somewhere down the crazy river

Take a picture of this

The fields are empty

Abandoned fifty-nine Chevy

Layin' in the back seat listenin' to Little Willie John

Yeah 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 nothin' for me

I'm a man with a clear destination

I'm a man with uh a broad imagination

You fog the mind

You stir the soul

I can't find no contro-o-ol

Ooh ho

Catch the blue train to places never been before

Look for me somewhere down the crazy river

Ooh ooh

Catch the blue train all the way to Kokomo

You can find me somewhere down the crazy river

Mmh

Wait

Did you hear that

Oh this is sure stirrin' 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

Fallin' in trances

I been spellbound

Fallin' in trances

You give me shivers

Chills and fever

You give me shivers

Ah hah

Ah hah

You give me shivers

Ho

Somewhere down the crazy river

Somewhere down the crazy river
