DELTA COMBAT ZONE
(M. Skoller)
From Memphis into Mississippi
On the edge of Arkansas
It's highway 61Filled with Voodoo and folklore
Past RJ's crossroads
Where he's said to'v sold his soul
Now the Grand Casino
Has made it billboard row
(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the delta
Out on highway 61Casinos at the crossroads
What has the devil done
Casinos on the west side
Cotton fields on the east
Mobil homes and shotgun shacks
Attend the gamblers feast
Build a bigger highway
Out on old 61But gambling fever's spreading
And they've only just begun
(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the Delta
Out on highway 61Casinos on the crossroads
What has the devil done
Zimmerman and Young Bob Shootin' craps and writin' songs
Head-on collisions
They keep on keepin' on
Rice Miller calls his broker
As he spins the roulette wheel
This might as well be Reno Except for the cotton fields
(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the delta
Out on highway 61Casinos at the crossroads
What has the devil done?
Yellow moon is risin'
Over the sleazy gamblin' caves
At the turn of the Millenium
There's a different kind of slave
The rich just get richer
And the poor just have kids
There's a blight on the lowlands
I refuse to keep it hid
(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the delta
Out on highway 61Casinos at the crossroads
What has the devil done? Somebody tell me
What has the devil done?
I got to know
what has the devil done?
I don't care what you do with my body when I'm dead and gone
Let it take a Greyhound bus and ride
Straight out of the delta
What has the devil done? |
