I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;-----
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around.
The Weight, written by Robbie Robertson, performed by The Band, 1968
Songs that makes you feel gooooood. A perfect song to include in any travel playlist, The Weight describes one man's adventures in a small town in Pennsylvania. A man who cannot direct him to a hotel, Carmen and the Devil, dying Luke and his young bride, and Chester and the dog he is willing to trade for a room all have awkward conversations with the man.
Featured in Easy Rider, this song would forever set the tone for every motorcycle video ever.
