The Levee - Jonny Lang

Well, I have been down to Memphis

I couldn’t find no peace

Well my soul is feeling restless

Like I need some relief

Heading for the desert

See what I can find

I know the river holds the answers

To the questions in my 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

I have been down at Natchez

Down to Baton Rouge

You see the river keep on callin' me

No matter what I do

No matter what I do

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

I’m drivin' through the darkness

Highway 61

Heading for the crossroads

Like the ones before me done

I want you to 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

Let them go
