You seen what happened last time they started” [Verse 8] Well, I seen me a Cadillac window uptown There was nobody around I got into the driver’s seat And I drove down 42nd Street In my Cadillac Good car to drive after a war [Verse 9] Well, I remember seeing some ad So I turned on my Conelrad But I didn’t pay the Con Ed bill So the radio didn’t work so well Turned on my record player — It was Rock-a-day Johnny, singing “Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa Our Love’s A-going to Grow, Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah” [Verse 10] I was feeling kind of lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to So I called up the operator of time Just to hear a voice of some kind “When you hear the beep it will be three o’clock” She said that for over an hour And I hung up [Verse 11] Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then Saying “Hey I’ve been having the same old dreams But mine was a little different, you see I dreamt the only person left after the war was me I didn’t see you around" [Verse 12] Well, now time passed and now it seems Everybody’s having them dreams Everybody sees their self Walking around with no one else [Outro] "Half of the people can be part right all of the time And some of the people can be all right part of the time But all of the people can’t be all right all of the time" I think Abraham Lincoln said that “I’ll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours” I said that #BobDylan #TalkinWorldWarThreeBlues #TheFreewheelinBobDylan
