Resurrection
(Robbie Robertson)

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 I’m coming back
For the resurrection, for the resurrection
