Some of the greatest lyrics Dylan ever wrote are in this song, I feel. Especially "I wish that I'd been a doctor/maybe I'd have saved some life that'd been lost/maybe I'd of done some good in the world/'stead of burning every bridge I crossed" and "I ain't too good at conversation, girl/So you might not know exactly how I feel/But if I could, I'd bring bring you to the mountaintop, girl/And build you a house made out of stainless steel.

I really like the non-Christian songs that came directly before and after his "Born Again" period. Even on Slow Train Coming there was a great love song "Precious Angel" that talks about spirituality and God, but is really a love song.
