Bob Dylan - highway 61

노래는 아브라함과 하나님 간의 대화로 시작하여, 여러 인물들이 하이웨이 61에서 만나는 사건들을 통해 삶의 혼란과 고난을 표현한다
등장인물들은 각기 다른 문제를 안고 '하이웨이 61'으로 향하며, 이곳은 그들의 이야기가 얽히는 배경이 된다
복잡한 관계와 상황 속에서 그들은 해답을 찾고자 애쓰고 있다

God said to Abraham 'Kill me a son'
Abe said 'Man, you must be putting me on'
God said 'No' - Abe said 'What?'
God said 'You can do what you want Abe
But next time you see me coming you better run'
Abe said 'Where'd you want this killing done?'
God said 'Out on Highway 61'
Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
The Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked Poor Howard 'Where can I go?'
Howard says 'There's only one place I know'
Sam said 'Tell me quick man I got to run'
Oh, Howard he just pointed with his gun
He said 'That's way down Highway 61'
Mack the Finger said to Louis the King
'I got forty red-white-blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?'
Louis the King said 'Let me think for a minute son'
And he said 'Yes, I think it can be easily done -
Just take everything down to Highway 61'
Well the 5th daughter on the 12th night
Told the 1st father that things weren't right
My complexion she says is much too white
He says 'Come here step into the light'
He says 'Mam you're right - let me tell
The 2nd mother this has been love'
But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son
And they were both out on Highway 61
