“Oh God said to Abraham, Kill me a son.
Abe says, Man, you must be puttin' me on.
God say, No. Abe say, What?
God say, You can do what you want Abe, but
the next time you see me comin' you better run.
Well Abe says, Where do you want this killin' done?
God says, Out on Highway 61.”

Song lyrics, Highway 61 Revisited (1965), Highway 61 Revisited

Maybe we should stop doing some of it."”
