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
andquot;why do you always end up down at nickand's cafe?andquot;
i said andquot;i donand't know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way.andquot;
she said andquot;hang the rich.andquot;
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 and'59 chevy
laying in the back seat listening to little willie john
yea, thatand's when time stood still
you know, i think iand'm gonna go down to madam x
and let her read my mind
she said andquot;that voodoo stuff donand't do nothing for me.andquot;
Iand'm a man with a clear destination
iand'm a man with a broad imagination
you fog the mind, you stir the soul
i canand'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 andquot;thereand's one thing youand've got to learn
is not to be afraid of it.andquot;
i said andquot;no, i like it, i like it, itand's good.andquot;
she said andquot;you like it now
but youand'll learn to love it later.andquot;
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
