SPOKEN:
I TOOK MY FIRST STEPS
OUT DA MISSISSIPPI DELTA
A LONG....LONG, DAMN TIME AGO
.....
BOY YOU WANNA PLAY DEM BLUES
WELL YOU GOTS TO LIVE EM TOO
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT
YOU GOTTA DO IT RIGHT

Verse 1
HEADIN' DOWN TO THE CROSSROADS
GOT MY GUITAR IN MY HAND
DEVIL'S WAITING AT THE CROSSROADS
TRYIN' TO SELL ME THE PROMISED LAND

OH BUT HE WANT MY SOUL OOOH
BUT HE CAN'T HAVE IT NO

Verse 2
GOTTA MAKE MYSELF SOME LIVIN' NOW
BUT ONLY THINGS THAT I CAN DO
IS PLAY MY HEART OUT ON THIS GUITAR
AND SING MY SOUL RIGHT OUT TO YOU

BUT OH IT'S BEEN A LONG HARD ROAD
THAT I BEEN TRAVELIN' ON

(guitar break)

Verse 3
HEADED OUT TO PLAY MY LAST NOTE
FEEL THE FOOTSTEPS ON MY GRAVE
HOPE I'VE DONE MY SHARE OF LIVIN', LORD
BEFORE I MARCH THIS LAST PARADE

CUZ OH..WHAT I LEAVE BEHIND ME
WILL BE MY LEGACY
