Just thinking about crossroads, decided to go hardcore with it instead of making about just coming to a place of change in your life. May not be everybody's cup of tea, but it is what it is.
Lyrics
Take me to the crossroads
For my soul to keep
Show me what the future holds
Before I go to sleep
Wake me when the morning comes
And the night has gone
Throw your bones and shells then
And watch the new day dawn
This is the spirits way
This is a brand new day
What’s come and gone will come right back again
What’s right’s not wrong, what’s good’s not sin.
Meet me on the highway
In the dead of night
Meet me at the crossroads
To make everything alright
Make your offering to him
To see your life get better
Take your time not to sin
Everything we do matters.
You bring the rum and I’ll bring the smokes
You sing the song and I’ll watch the road
When the moon rises and darkness gather’s round
Don’t close your eyes and don’t make a sound
Whatever you ask for will come straight to you
The lies that your mouth tells when then become true
Don’t believe me you can find out yourself
Go down to the crossroads and sit for a spell
Meet me on the highway
In the dead of night
Meet me at the crossroads
To make everything alright
Make your offering to him
To see your life get better
Take your time not to sin
Everything we do matters.
Don’t take your hatred and don’t take your pain
Don’t ask for sunshine and don’t ask for rain
Don’t bring harm to others and don’t try to lie
Don’t try to wake the dead you’ll be there by and by
Ol papa will listen, Ol papa won’t lie
Sad eyes always glisten sad souls always cry
Ask only for good things and you’ll find them there
If you dare ask for evil you better beware
Meet me on the highway
In the dead of night
Meet me at the crossroads
To make everything alright
Make your offering to him
To see your life get better
Take your time not to sin
Everything we do matters.
What comes around goes around
Of that there is no doubt
Don’t make a sound and you better not try not to frown
Cause love’s what it’s all about
The Ancestors got you
Don’t matter the trouble
Your honored Ones adore you
To honor them counts double
So live your life the right way
And don’t get too down
Behold the sights and seize the day
And you’ll earn your crown.
Meet me on the highway
In the dead of night
Meet me at the crossroads
To make everything alright
Make your offering to him
To see your life get better
Take your time not to sin
Everything we do matters.
