The morning sun is rising, it finds me on the run
The morning sun is rising, it finds me on the run
As her vision haunts my memory, out on Highway 61

She told me it was over, that was it, we'd had our fun
She told me it was over, that was it, we'd had our fun
All my dreams along the roadside, out on Highway 61

It's a heavy load of heartache, I believed she was the one
It's a heavy load of heartache, I believed she was the one
Maybe I'll find a new love out on Highway 61

The blues is my companion, never knowing what's to come
The blues is my companion, never knowing what's to come
As I'm searchin' for the answers out on Highway 61

By the time I get to Vicksburg, I'll be singing a new song
By the time I get to Vicksburg, I'll be singing a new song
Leave her memory far behind me out on Highway 61

The morning sun is rising, it finds me on the run
The morning sun is rising, it finds me on the run
As her vision haunts my memory out on Highway 61
