My mind, I got them sixty six high-way blues

Every old town that I ramble round
Down that lonesome road
The police in yo’ town they shove me around
I got them sixty six highway blues

Makes me no difference wherever I ramble
Lord, wherever I go
I don’t wanna be pushed around by the police
In yo’ town, I got them sixty six highway blues

Been on this road for a mighty long time
Ten million men like me
You drive us from yo’ town, we ramble around
And got them sixty six highway blues

Sometimes I think I’ll blow down a cop
Lord, you treat me so mean
I done lost my gal, I ain’t got a dime
I got them sixty six highway blues

Sometimes I think I’ll get me a gun
Thirty eight or big forty fo’
But a number for a name and a big 99
Is worse than sixty six highway blues

I’m gonna start me a hungry man’s union
Ain’t a gonna charge no dues
Gonna march down that road to the wall street
Walls, a singin’ those sixty six highway blues
