Crossroads -

I moved out of the city

To a farm outside of town

At night I can’t hear a sound

It’s just me and my woman

She grows tomatoes in our front yard

Her love, my roots, they’re strong and hard

But for the past few years

I been stuck inside my head

The few hours that I got became the only thing we did in our bed

I let my years grow shorter

And my hair grow long

But when the days outlast the years boy you know you’re doing something wrong

I’m at a crossroads

I’m not supposed to know where to go

At a crossroads

The road ahead is long

And there ain’t no sense in beating the light

At the crossroads of your life, no

I was hustling to do it all

Wanted my name in the blinking lights

All before I turned 21 but a kid can’t outrun time

If my life was a river

And my success was measured in height

My aspirations for myself were the watermarks left by the flood of 99

I’m at a crossroads

I’m not supposed to know where to go

At a crossroads

The road ahead is long

And there ain’t no sense in beating the light

At the crossroads of your life, no

I made mistakes, I pumped the breaks

I learned a few things

But how a woman’s love can bring you back to earth well that remains unseen

I’m at a crossroads

I’m not supposed to know where to go

At a crossroads

The road ahead is long

And there ain’t no sense in beating the light

At the crossroads of your life, no
