"Six Blocks Away" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams. It was released in 1992 as the first single from her fourth album, Sweet Old World (1992).
Williams re-recorded Sweet Old World for its 25th anniversary in 2017, and released it under the new title This Sweet Old World.[1] "Six Blocks Away" was again released as the lead single, and Rolling Stone described the re-recorded version as "reinvigorated with a chiming, jangly Rickenbacker guitar line that evokes everyone from Tom Petty to the Byrds to R.E.M."[2]
