There's nothing 'round here I believe in
'Cept you, yeah you
And there's nothing to me that's sacred
'Cept you, yeah you
You're the one that reaches me
You're the one that I admire
Every time we meet together
My soul feels like it's on fire
Nothing matters to me
And there's nothing I desire
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing 'round here I care to try for
'Cept you, yeah you
Got nothing left to live or die for
'Cept you, yeah you
There's a hymn I used to hear
In the churches all the time
Make me feel so good inside
So peaceful, so sublime
And there's nothing to remind me of that
Old familiar chime
'Cept you, uh huh you
Used to play in the cemetery
Dance and sing and run when I was a child
Never seemed strange
But now I just pass mournfully by
That place where the bones of life are piled
I know somethin' has changed
I'm a stranger here and no one sees me
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing much matters or seems to please me
'Cept you, yeah you
Nothing hypnotizes me
Or holds me in a spell
Everything runs by me
Just like water from a well
Everybody wants my attention
Ev'rybody's got something to sell
'Cept you, yeah you

Review:
A full 74 minute disc offering various studio outtakes of the 60s and early 70s. This disc centers on the Highway 61 studio outtakes, and the studio recordings shortly after it's release. There's nothing new to be found here that hasn't been on boot before, but there are some great outtakes gathered together in one place. This is the second release of a series that was intended (as the title implies) to chronicle acetate recordings of studio outtakes. However, the project loses momentum after this release. The covers are generic scenes of roadways. While captivating, they have no Dylan tie-in.
