The Levee

(kevin bowe)

I have been to memphis but i couldn't find no peace

My soul is feeling restless and i need some relief

I'm heading for the delta, see what i can find

I know the river holds the answers that'll ease my worried mind

Take me down to the levee where the women sing

Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing

Take me down to the levee where the river flows

Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go

Well, i have been to natchez, been down to baton rouge

But the delta keeps on callin' me no matter what i do

Chorus

Solo

I'm drivin' through the darkness, down highway 61

Heading for the crossroads like the ones before me done
