dA CROSSROADS

 

Da Crossroads


I was beat up and torn down,

And tired of paying dues.

So, I went down to the crossroads,

To try to lose my blues.


I saw a man with a guitar,

Pointing his finger at me.

I asked if he had an offer,

This is what he said to me…

If you give me what I want,

I'll give you what you think you need. [Repeat]


I had a worn out spirit,

And my soul was wearing thin.

I was running close to empty,

While the dogs was closing in.


I saw a man with a guitar,

Playing that sweet rock-n-roll.

I asked if he had the answer,

He said just give me some soul…

If you give me what I want,

I'll give you what you think you need. [Repeat]


I didn't have to think.

I didn't have to fret.

I didn't have to place the winning bet.

The dogs got tired.

The trail went cold.

The sherif got bought, and the sheriff got sold.

I didn't have to work.

I didn't have to sweat.

And what's better yet… I'll tell ya'.

I didn't have to run.

I didn't have to hide.

Sweat Nike was running by my side.


Yeah, I got it. I got everything.

I got anything I dreamed [how sweet it is].

I got Mercurys, I got Mercedes Benz.

I got accountants and lawyers who say they're my "friends".

I got televisions and weapons galore.

I have all these truly wonderful things.


I went on vacations. I collected souvenirs.

I hung out with celebrities and pierced both my ears.

I stayed in 5 star hotels, bought whistles and bells.

I got credit cards and drank like a fish in luxury bars.

NowI have all these truly wonderful things.

I have all these things and they won't set me free.

[repeat]
