Highlands
4
by Bob Dylan
5
Well my heart's in the Highlands gentle and fair
6
Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air
7
Bluebelles blazing, where the Aberdeen waters flow
8
Well my heart's in the Highland,
9
I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go
10
Windows were shakin' all night in my dreams
11
Everything was exactly the way that it seems
12
Woke up this morning and I looked at the same old page
13
Same ol' rat race
14
Life in the same ol' cage.
15
I don't want nothing from anyone, ain't that much to take
16
Wouldn't know the difference between a real blonde and a fake
17
Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery
18
I wish someone would come
19
And push back the clock for me
20
Well my heart's in the Highlands wherever I roam
21
That's where I'll be when I get called home
22
The wind, it whispers to the buckeyed trees in rhyme
23
Well my heart's in the Highland,
24
I can only get there one step at a time.
25
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound
26
Someone's always yelling turn it down
27
Feel like I'm drifting
28
Drifting from scene the scene
29
I'm wondering what in the devil could it all possibly mean?
30
Insanity is smashing up against my soul
31
You can say I was on anything but a roll
32
If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top
33
What would I do with it anyway
34
Maybe take it to the pawn shop
35
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn
36
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan
37
Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low
38
Well my heart's in the Highlands
39
Only place left to go
40
I'm in Boston town, in some restaurant
41
I got no idea what I want
42
Well, maybe I do but I'm just really not sure
43
Waitress comes over
44
Nobody in the place but me and her
45
It must be a holiday, there's nobody around
46
She studies me closely as I sit down
47
She got a pretty face and long white shiny legs
48
She says, "What'll it be?"
49
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
50
She looks at me, Says "I'd bring you some
51
but we're out of 'm, you picked the wrong time to come"
52
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"
53
I say, "I would if I could, but,
54
I don't do sketches from memory."
55
"Well", she says, "I'm right here in front of you, or haven't you looked?"
56
I say," all right, I know, but I don't have my drawing book!"
57
She gives me a napkin, she says, "you can do it on that"
58
I say, "yes I could but,
59
I don't know where my pencil is at!"
60
She pulls one out from behind her ear
61
She says "all right now, go ahead, draw me, I'm standing right here"
62
I make a few lines, and I show it for her to see
63
Well she takes a napkin and throws it back
64
And says "that don't look a thing like me!"
65
I said, "Oh, kind miss, it most certainly does"
66
She says, "you must be jokin.'" I say, "I wish I was!"
67
Then she says, "you don't read women authors, do you?"
68
Least that's what I think I hear her say,
69
"Well", I say, "how would you know and what would it matter anyway?"
70
"Well", she says, "you just don't seem like you do!"
71
I said, "you're way wrong."
72
She says, "which ones have you read then?" I say, "I read Erica Jong!"
73
She goes away for a minute and I slide up out of my chair
74
I step outside back to the busy street, but nobody's going anywhere
75
Well my heart's in the Highlands, with the horses and hounds
76
Way up in the border country, far from the towns
77
With the twang of the arrow and a snap of the bow
78
My heart's in the Highlands
79
Can't see any other way to go
80
Every day is the same thing out the door
81
Feel further away then ever before
82
Some things in life, it gets too late to learn
83
Well, I'm lost somewhere
84
I must have made a few bad turns
85
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes
86
They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes
87
All the young men with their young women looking so good
88
Well, I'd trade places with any of them
89
In a minute, if I could
90
I'm crossing the street to get away from a mangy dog
91
Talking to myself in a monologue
92
I think what I need might be a full length leather coat
93
Somebody just asked me
94
If I registered to vote
95
The sun is beginning to shine on me
96
But it's not like the sun that used to be
97
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
98
I got new eyes
99
Everything looks far away
100
Well, my heart's in the Highlands at the break of day
101
Over the hills and far away
102
There's a way to get there, and I'll figure it out somehow
103
But I'm already there in my mind
104
And that's good enough for now
