For Bob Dylan's 83rd Birthday - Dirt Road Blues

 


Dirt Road Blues was a cut on Time Out of Mind released in 1997.  I guess that on his birthday he will be walking on a dirt road near his home.  I always liked the guitar riff.  At age 83 Dylan is still touring.  There is a line in the song that is very relevant.

Dirt Road Blues
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN

Gon’ walk down that dirt road, ’til someone lets me ride

Gon’ walk down that dirt road, ’til someone lets me ride

If I can’t find my baby, I’m gonna run away and hide



I been pacing around the room hoping maybe she’d come back

Pacing ’round the room hoping maybe she’d come back

Well, I been praying for salvation laying ’round in a one-room country shack



Gon’ walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed

Gon’ walk down that dirt road until my eyes begin to bleed

’Til there’s nothing left to see, ’til the chains have been shattered and I’ve been freed



I been lookin’ at my shadow, I been watching the colors up above

Lookin’ at my shadow, watching the colors up above

Rolling through the rain and hail, looking for the sunny side of love



Gon’ walk on down that dirt road ’til I’m right beside the sun

Gon’ walk on down until I’m right beside the sun

I’m gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone
