Lyrics - The Levee by Jonny Lang

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
