From a Buick 6

The words

A man in a hard, dangerous life praises the one woman who looks after him and will stand by him.

The singer describes a woman who is his refuge in a rough world, someone who protects and steadies him while everything around him threatens. The verses are a series of quick, tough images of danger and death, each turning back to her loyalty. It is boastful and grateful at once, more celebration than romance. The band races through it with a driving organ and bass, and Dylan's harmonica squeals over the top.
