"Simon" lyrics

I heard about a place by the water
Somewhere you can't trust no one
If you drive too far, you'll find it
Right off of Highway 61

I heard they got Manson down there
And Cash found it on down by the train
I've been trying to stay clear all my life
But I hear those beasts calling my name

I'm getting real damn close, it's a matter of time
I'll either lose my life or lose my mind

I heard 'bout a man called Simon
He comes when your head gets humid
Down by the water, they know him well
'Cause he lives deep down in the weak and wounded

They want me down in the swamp
Said, "Boy, you'll be in good company"
Lost men stay as long as you like
But no lost soul ever knows how to leave

I'm getting real damn close, it's a matter of time
I'll either lose my life or lose my mind

I live in a place by the water
Somewhere you can't trust no one
If you drive too far, you'll find it
Right off of Highway 61
