(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
