God, it was too hot to sleep
Yeah, that's when time stood still
Catch the blue train
Catch the blue train
You give me shivers, chills and fever
I turned around and she said
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
Somewhere down the crazy river
The fields are empty, abandoned '59 Chevy
You can find me
All the way to Kokomo
She said, "There's one thing you've got to learn
I been spellbound, I been spellbound
Somewhere down the crazy river
She said, "Hang the rich"
You fog the mind, you stir the soul
She said, "That voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me"
I said, "No, I like it, I like it, it's good"
I'm a man with a broad imagination
Is not to be afraid of it"
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
"Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?"
You give me shivers
All the way to Kokomo
I said, "I don't know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way"
I been spellbound falling in trances
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from a levee
Catch the blue train
Look for me
Oh, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
I been spellbound falling in trances
Somewhere down the crazy river
Look for me
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X
I'm a man with a clear destination
Take a picture of this
To places never been before
You can find me
You give me shivers
I been spellbound somewhere down the crazy river
All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistling from right behind me
Catch the blue train
Somewhere down the crazy river
I can't find, no control
You know where people play games with the night
And let her read my mind
Wait, did you hear that
But you'll learn to love is later"
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John
She said, "You like it now
To places never been before
