somewhere down the crazy river

Singer:robbie robertson

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 from right behind me

i turned around

and she said

why do you always end up down at nick's cafe?"
