From a Buick 6
Bob Dylan Lyrics

I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kids
I have a woman who watches over my children, and she takes care of them like a mother, despite being associated with graveyards.

But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid
However, my true love, who is soulful and caring, is the one who truly protects and hides me from the world.

She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread
Despite being someone who may be associated with junkyards, she is an angel in my eyes and always provides for me, even with the simplest things like bread.

Well, if I go down dyin', you know she's bound to put a blanket on my bed
I know that if I were to die, she would make sure to provide comfort to me, showing her undying love for me even after death.

Well, when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge
During times of trouble or confusion, when everything seems to be broken or lost, I feel stranded and unsure of what to do.

I'm all cracked up on the highway and in the water's edge
The situation has left me feeling vulnerable, like I'm torn apart, both on the highway and at the water's edge.

And then she comes down a thruway, ready to sew me up with a thread
But then she arrives, like a savior, to fix me up and help me recover from the difficult situation.

Well, she don't make me nervous, she don't talk too much
Unlike others who may be overbearing or cause anxiety, she has a calming presence and doesn't talk excessively.

She walks like Bo Diddley and she don't need no crutch
She has a sense of confidence and assurance when she walks, just like the famous musician Bo Diddley, and doesn't rely on anyone or anything else for support.

She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead
She's prepared for any danger or threat that may come our way by keeping a gun loaded with bullets.

Well, you know I need a steam shovel, mama, to keep away the dead
In order to avoid being haunted by the past or memories, I need something as powerful as a steam shovel to keep it all away.

I need a dump truck, baby, to unload my head
My mind is filled with so many thoughts and emotions that I feel like I need a truck to dump it all out and clear my head.

She brings me everything and more, and just like I said
Despite all of my needs and worries, she still manages to provide me with everything and more, just like I knew she would.

Well, if I go down dyin', you know she's bound to put a blanket on my bed
Once again, I am reminded of the unwavering love and care she has for me, even in the face of death.
