[Verse 1]
God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No," Abe say, “What?"
God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but
The next time you see me comin', you better run"
Abe said, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God said, "Out on Highway 61"

[Verse 2]
Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose
And the Welfare Department won't give him no clothes, yeah
He asked poor Howard, "Where can I go?"
Howard said, "There's only one place I know"
And Sam said, "Tell me quick, son, I got to run"
Howard just pointed with his gun
Said, "Out there on Highway 61"

[Verse 3]
Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
"I got forty red, white and blue shoestrings
And a thousand telephones that don't ever ring
Can you tell me where I can get rid of these things?"
And Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute, son
Ah yeah, I think it can be very easily done
Just take it out on Highway 61"
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
"My complexion," she said, "Is much too light"
He said, "Come over here and step into the light
You're right, let me tell the second mother this has been done"
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61

[Verse 5]
The Texas gambler, he was very bored
He decided to create the next world war
He called a promoter who nearly fell on the floor
He said, "Didn't your old man try this a few years before?
But, yes, I believe it can be very easily done
We'll just give Donald Rumsfeld about a million guns
And have it out on Highway 61"
Highway 61, Highway 61, yeah

[Outro]
We're very happy that we're, we're here tonight
And I feel very honored and humbled
That I'm able to come and play these songs
And hopefully, uh, we can do, uh, some sort of justice to 'em
And you guys can enjoy 'em
And we can all have a good time tonight
Thanks a lot
