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
