Crossroads
I sold my soul at seventeen
I got ten years so the world could see
This Texas pearl with crazy dreams
A woman left lonely
Till the end
I signed my name in dark red ink
I sold my soul, it's yours to keep
When you come for me
Make it fast
My life is short, but my name will last
Jimi grew up with a broom in his hand
Wanted to be more than just a military man
He said make my broom a guitar
The devil said you got
Till Woodstock
So he signed his name in dark red ink
He sold his soul, it's ours to keep
When they come for him
Make it fast
His life was short, but his name will last
I wanna play the blues
Have the best skills around
I ain't got nothing to live for
Just me and my guitar
Robby I'll give you a few good years
Until you pay your dues
But when you go down
You'll be playing
The crossroad blues
I got ten years so the world could see
This Texas pearl with crazy dreams
A woman left lonely
Till the end
I signed my name in dark red ink
I sold my soul, it's yours to keep
When you come for me
Make it fast
My life is short, but my name will last
Jimi grew up with a broom in his hand
Wanted to be more than just a military man
He said make my broom a guitar
The devil said you got
Till Woodstock
So he signed his name in dark red ink
He sold his soul, it's ours to keep
When they come for him
Make it fast
His life was short, but his name will last
I wanna play the blues
Have the best skills around
I ain't got nothing to live for
Just me and my guitar
Robby I'll give you a few good years
Until you pay your dues
But when you go down
You'll be playing
The crossroad blues
