Lyrics Robbie Robertson

Robbie Robertson

Resurrection

When you grow up on blue highways

And that's what you call home

All the people would stop and stare

At this orphan of the road

In the beginning they did not believe me

But they believe me now

Tell my mama, tell my papa

I wish they could see me now

I'm coming back

For the resurrection

For the resurrection

I'm coming back

For the resurrection

For the resurrection

You're an outcast in a land of strangers

And that's a cardinal sin

Make a break for the outside world

And they won't let you in

If you get lost out on Coney Island

Tell all my friends hello

That's where I learned the rules of the game

They taught me all I know

I'm coming back

For the resurrection

For the resurrection

I'm coming back

For the resurrection

For the resurrection

You were drowning in a sea of laughter

Tears were in your eyes

When you found out what you were after

I could see your spirit rise

I'm coming back

For the resurrection

For the resurrection

I'm coming back

For the resurrection

For the resurrection
