Lyrics
I was standing on the corner, rain soaking through my shoes, with nothing but my skin to keep me warm. That's when I saw you with your boyfriend and your Cadillac, turning all the heads on the Avenue. Down in your bourgeois ghetto, what a terrible life you lead. Where everything depends on what you own. I tried to warn you about your empty destiny before they dropped the curtain on your soul. Just another city. Just another town. On an endless concrete highway we call home. Though sometimes it don't come easy, we can look back on where we've been but never realize where we come from. So I flagged a ride to Clarksdale. I dropped down on my knees. My soul is at the crossroad hear my plea. Mr. Johnson and the Devil are walking hand in hand. Robert never heard those hellhounds on his trail.
