Somewhere Down the Crazy River lyrics

  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?"
  I said, "Uh, I don't know, the wind just kinda pushed me this way"
  She said, "Hang the rich"

  Catch the blue train
  Places never been before
  Look for me
  Somewhere down the crazy river
  (Somewhere down the crazy river)
  Ooh, 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 '59 Chevy
  Laying in the back seat listening 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 nothing for me"

  I'm a man with a clear destination
  I'm a man with a broad imagination
  You fog the mind, you stir the soul
  I can't find no control
  Ooh

  Catch the blue train
  Places never been before
  Look for me
  Somewhere down the crazy river
  (Somewhere down the crazy river)
  Ooh, 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, "There's one thing you gotta 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
  Falling in trances
  I been spellbound
  Falling in trances
  You give me the shivers
  Chills and fever
  You give me the shivers
  You give me the shivers
  I been spellbound
  I been spellbound
  I been spellbound
  (Somewhere down the crazy river)
  Somewhere down the crazy river
