Rainy Day Crossroad Blues

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
