Agreed. The lyric contains enough embellishment to captivate the imagination, but is yet ambiguous enough to allow for a variety of interpretations. And you're right, the beauty of the lyric truly lies in the passion with which it's delivered. The Band has a lot of vocal talent, but Levon Helm has to be first in line. He belts out this beauty with passion and gusto, and that subtle southern drawl of his adds just the right touch... all the while playing that drum kit for all it's worth to punctuate that swinging rhythm perfectly. Poetry in motion. Play it again...
yea rayman, I still have to say that you are still too presumptuous. I am 19 and I have loved classic rock, including the beatles, dylan, and of course the band etc. since i was 15. Born to run is correct, rock and roll classics are making a comeback due to the lack of talent in today's music. Also I have to disagree with you saying that Levon is first in line. Robbie wrote a majority of the band's songs, he just did not sing most as levon took that role. Even though levon is by far a great drummer...

Even though levon is by far a great drummer and very talented because he has mastered the drums and vocals at the same time for all songs, I have to give the edge to robbie robertson because he wrote the songs and he is an unreal guitarist who has played with all the greats at one point or another.
