(Tom Johnston)
|
The sky is fallin' and the ground is reachin' up
|
The river's goin' by and the water's gettin' high and I feel like givin' up
|
Standin' in the downpour with these rainy day crossroad blues
|
Got those woods on my left, city on my right, don't wanna sleep alone tonight again
|
Hole in my coat, hole in my shoes, sittin' in Mobile singin' the blues about you
|
Company people call my house most every day
|
Won't let a body concentrate
|
Gotta get some peace that way
|
Waitin' for that water risin', think I'll put my guitar in my boat
|
'Cause I'm floatin' to the nearest levy just to lay down
|
In that sand
|
Just pickin' wild berries, gettin' stung by honey bees
|
The Lord above and the devil below havin' a fight inside of me
|
Thinkin' ' bout my gun, maybe that will set me free
|
'Cause thunder and lightnin' are trapped inside of me
|
Innocent darlin' why you treat your daddy this way?
|
The price of the question is a mighty hard price to pay
|
'Cause you brought these rainy day crossroad blues my way
|
I can't take it no more
