Standing at the crossroads
Standing at the Crossroads"Standing at the Crossroads is an old song -- ten years old. It's a white country blues, a feeling-sorry-for-yourself kind of song, the typical song I write about the blues hounding me wherever I go. But it's done in a melodic way so you don't get depressed about it."Put my heart inside a bottleand place it on the shelfI'm savin' my love for you babeand for no one elseThough miles may come between usmy love for you still lives onThe days gone by can never dieno matter how long I'm goneOh, I'm standin' at the crossroadsjust like a ship adrift at seaThe lbues are like a bloodhoundalways comin' after meOh I'm standin' at the crossroadswonderin' which way to goThe blues are like my shadowthey're with me wherever I goThe times aren't always gentlethe people aren't always kindBut behind the bend might be a friendthere for you to findSongtexteBut it seems like all good peopleI meet as I'm travelin' throughJust sit down to talk andbefore we beginThey're off with their own things to do
