Lyrics
Me and Dylan
He wasn?t hard to like at all
He said he rode a motorbike and all
Wore a Stetson ?cos it made him look tall
But he?s slumped down in his seat
He made a joke about my hair
Said I reminded him of Fred Astaire
But the comparison ended there
He bets I?ve got two left feet
The jokes on me but I have to laugh
Wish I could catch this moment in a photograph
Bob is smiling
And I?m driving slow
Picture this one if you can
I?m spending quality time with the Man
Me and Dylan out on 65
Heading for Chicago
He asks me if I care to stop a while
At a friend of his to chat a while
I tell him chatting?s going out of style
And he just laughs out loud
He says he?ll put that in a song
I say I?ll need a credit; he says you?re wrong
You?ll have equal billing and it won?t be long
Until you draw your own crowd
He makes one up right on the spot
Tripping out the words in that voice he?s got
Bob is singing
And I?m driving slow
Picture this one if you can
I?m spending quality time with the Man
Me and Dylan out on 65
Heading for Chicago
I?m taking Bobby up to see a friend
But I don?t want this trip to ever end
The limit?s seventy but I pretend
It?s really only fifty five
He asks me how I?m doing I say OK
Though I don?t know if he means in my life or just today
My answer would be the same one anyway
It feels good to be alive
The Man is riding shotgun in my Chevrolet
I?m hanging on every word he has to say
Bob is talking
And I?m driving slow
Picture this one if you can
I?m spending quality time with the Man
Me and Dylan out on 65
Heading for Chicago
Repeat and fade
