I heard about a place by the water Somewhere you can't trust no one If you drive too far, you'll find it Right off of Highway 61 I heard they got Manson down there And Cash found it on down by the train I've been trying to stay clear all my life But I hear those beasts calling my name I'm getting real damn close, it's a matter of time I'll either lose my life or lose my mind I heard 'bout a man called Simon He comes when your head gets humid Down by the water, they know him well 'Cause he lives deep down in the weak and wounded They want me down in the swamp Said: Boy, you'll be in good company Lost men stay as long as you like But no lost soul ever knows how to leave I'm getting real damn close, it's a matter of time I'll either lose my life or lose my mind I live in a place by the water Somewhere you can't trust no one If you drive too far, you'll find it Right off of Highway 61
