Lyrics
Too much time in South Dakota, crossed the line to Montreal
too much waiting on the savior, or maybe not enough at all
one day trip to Mississippi, for that wabash cannonball
best be standing at the crossroads, when you hear that angel's call
Did a stint in Colorado, They dig that rocky mountain high
like Moses in the desert, I'm so lonesome I could cry
took a greyhound to the delta, to punch a hole right through the wall
best be standing at the crossroads, when you hear that angel's call
It's a long standing tradition, guitar on your back
railroad steel, cotton fields, and dealing with old scratch
when you hear that whistle blowing and the rain begins to fall
best be standing at the crossroads, when you hear that angel's call
The odds aren't in your favor, the deal is always stacked
don't go looking to St Peter, he ain't cutting you no slack
Either you'll have hard luck or you'll have no luck at all
best be standing at the crossroads, when you hear that angel's call
It's a long standing tradition, guitar on your back
railroad steel, cotton fields, and dealing with old scratch
when you hear that whistle blowing and the rains begin to fall
best be standing at the crossroads, when you hear that angel's call
best be standing at the crossroads, when you hear that angel's call
