DELTA COMBAT ZONE (M. Skoller)

From Memphis into Mississippi

On the edge of Arkansas

It's highway 61Filled with Voodoo and folklore

Past RJ's crossroads

Where he's said to'v sold his soul

Now the Grand Casino

Has made it billboard row


(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the delta

Out on highway 61Casinos at the crossroads

What has the devil done

Casinos on the west side

Cotton fields on the east

Mobil homes and shotgun shacks

Attend the gamblers feast

Build a bigger highway

Out on old 61But gambling fever's spreading

And they've only just begun


(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the Delta

Out on highway 61Casinos on the crossroads

What has the devil done

Zimmerman and Young Bob Shootin' craps and writin' songs

Head-on collisions

They keep on keepin' on

Rice Miller calls his broker

As he spins the roulette wheel

This might as well be Reno Except for the cotton fields


(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the delta

Out on highway 61Casinos at the crossroads

What has the devil done?

Yellow moon is risin' 

Over the sleazy gamblin' caves

At the turn of the Millenium

There's a different kind of slave

The rich just get richer

And the poor just have kids

There's a blight on the lowlands

I refuse to keep it hid


(Chorus) There's a combat zone in the delta

Out on highway 61Casinos at the crossroads

What has the devil done? Somebody tell me

What has the devil done?

I got to know

what has the devil done?

I don't care what you do with my body when I'm dead and gone

Let it take a Greyhound bus and ride

Straight out of the delta

What has the devil done?
