Crossroads

By eric clapton

I have finally found a way to live just like i never could before.
I know that i don't have much to give, but i can open any door.
Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live in the color of the lord.

I have finally found a place to live just like i never could before.
And i know i don't have much to give, but soon i'll open any door.
Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a place to live in the presence of the lord.
In the presence of the lord.

I have finally found a way to live just like i never could before.
And i know i don't have much to give, but i can open any door.
Everybody knows the secret, i said everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live in the color of the lord.
In the color of the lord.

Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
But someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

You're on my mind every place i go.
How much i love you, nobody know.
Yeah, someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many days since you went away.
I've had to worry both night and day.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many nights since you've been gone.
I've been worried, grieving my life alone.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So that's my story and this is all i've got to say to you:
Bye bye, baby, i don't care what you do.
'cause someday darling,
I won't have to worry my life any more.

Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
Oh, but someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

Ready, get ready. ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.

Well, you've been fooling 'round and i don't know why.
Left me on my own, sitting high and dry.
But i'm going to get you back, just you wait and see;
You can't do those things that you're doing to me.

Chorus

I've never needed a running 'round pissing hound,
Checking out the bitches in heat.
You've got a lot of nerve, dishing out what you serve,
Waggling your piece of meat.

Chorus

I want to get revenge on your sinful sins.
I got to get you back for what you did back then.
And now you've got it back, life is misery.
Well, ha ha ha to you, ha ha to me.

Ready, get ready. ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.

Get ready, get ready, get ready.
He's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart.

Get ready, get ready, get ready.
'cause he's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.

Have you ever loved a woman so much you tremble in pain?
Have you ever loved a woman so much you tremble in pain?
And all the time you know she bears another man's name.

But you just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin.
You just love that woman so much it's a shame and a sin.
But all the time you know she belongs to your very best friend.

Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone?
Have you ever loved a woman and you know you can't leave her alone?
Something deep inside of you won't let you wreck your best friend's home.

(by elmore james, morgan robinson and clarence lewis)

The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window, the rain was falling down in sheets.

My baby left me this morning, lord knows i don't know the reason why.
My baby left me this morning, i don't know the reason why.
And everytime i think about it, i hang my head and cry.

The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
I love my baby, i hate to see us part.

By eric clapton and bobby whitlock

Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday.
How can i ever hope to forget you?

Won't you show me a place
Where i can hide my lonely face?
I know you're going to break my heart if i let you.

Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?

Like a moth to a flame,
Like a song without a name,
I've never been the same since i met you.

Like a bird on the wing,
I've got a brand new song to sing,
I can't keep from singing about you.

Chorus

I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me.
I might have to break the law when i find you.

Stop running away;
I've got a better game to play,
You know i can't go on living without you.

Chorus

(by eric clapton)

It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do i look alright
And i say yes, you look wonderful tonight

We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And i say yes, i feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
Because i see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much i love you

It's time to go home now
And i've got an aching head
So i give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then i tell her
As i turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

(by st. louis jimmy)

I have had my fun if i never get well no more.
I have had my fun if i never get well no more.
All of my health is failing;
Lord, i'm going down slow,

I'm going down slow.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape i'm in.
Please write my mother and tell her the shape i'm in.
Tell her to pray for me,
Forgive me for my sin,
For all of my sin.

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.
'cause all of my health is failing;
Lord, i'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

All of my health is failing;
Lord, i'm going down slow,
I'm going down slow.

Feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.
I feel like i'm going, like i'm going down slow.

Water on the ground, cloud on the sun,
Moon on the rise and the wind on the run.
But you know it's only water,
Water on the ground.

Snow is falling, weather is cold.
Maybe i'm just getting old.
And i think it's only water,
Water on the ground.

Back to the rivers, back to the sea,
Keeps on running, just like me.
But you know it's only water,
Water on the ground.

They call it stormy monday, yes but tuesday's just as bad.
They call it stormy monday, yes but tuesday's just as bad.
Wednesday's even worse; thursday's awful sad.

The eagle flies on friday, saturday i go out to play.
The eagle flies on friday, but saturday i go out to play.
Sunday i go to church where i kneel down and pray.

And i say, "lord have mercy, lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy, lord have mercy on me.
Just trying to find my baby, won't you please send her on back to me."

The eagle flies on friday, on saturday i go out to play.
The eagle flies on friday, on saturday i go out to play.
Sunday i go to church, where i kneel down, lord and i pray.

Then i say, "lord have mercy, won't you please have mercy on me.
Lord, oh lord have mercy, yeah, won't you please, please have mercy on me.
I'm just a-lookin' for my sweet babe, so won't you please send him home,
Send him on home to me."

By steve winwood

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason i've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.

But i'm near the end and i just ain't got the time
And i'm wasted and i can't find my way home.

Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason i've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.

Chorus

But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
Still i can't find my way home,
And i ain't done nothing wrong,
But i can't find my way home.

By danny flowers

Well, i left oklahoma
Driving in a pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to arizona,
Maybe on to california
Where people all live so fine.

My mother says i'm crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But i'm gonna show them all this time
'cause you know i ain't no fool and
i don't need no more damn schoolin'.
I was born to just walk the line.

Living on tulsa time.
Living on tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
'cause you know that i've been through it.
Living on tulsa time.

So there i was in hollywood,
Thinking i was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They don't want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my baby's doing fine.

So then i started winking,
Then i started thinking
That i really had a flash this time.
That i had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see i'm on tulsa time.

By bob marley

I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But i say:

I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff john brown always hated me;
For what i don't know.
Every time that i plant a seed
He said, "kill it before it grows."
He said, "kill it before it grows."
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, but i swear it was in self-defense.

Freedom came my way one day
And i started out of town.
All of a sudden i see sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down.
So i shot, i shot him down.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But i say:

I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but i did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

By sonny boy williamson

You talk about your woman, i wish you could see mine.
You talk about your woman, i wish you could see mine.
Every time she starts to loving, she brings eyesight to the blind.

Her daddy gave her magic, i can tell by the way she walks.
Daddy gave her lots of magic, i can tell by the way she walks.
Every time she starts a-shakin', the dumb begin to talk.

She has got the power to heal you, never fear.
She has got the power to heal you, never fear.
Just one word from her lips and the deaf can hear.

By eric clapton, marcy levy and george terry

There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go,
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

Lay down, sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

Chorus

I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.

Chorus
