Born Under a Crossroad Sign - The King's Blues Club
I was born down south where the red clay bleeds
Mama said the moon watched over my knees
Preacher came running and said that boy ain't right
I was humming to the devil on a Saturday night
Born under a crossroad sign
Where the wind don't whisper it howls like time
Devil shook my daddy's hand
Now the blues is mine and it's more than I can stand
Got a rusted guitar and a crooked smile
Play my songs like I'm on trial
Girls don't stay and dogs don't bark
But my shadow walks tall when the nights get dark
Born under a crossroad sign
With a soul that's cracked like old moonshine
Every note I play another deal I sign
I ain't broke just cursed by design
My strings don't snap they scream and cry
Like a ghost on a train that never says goodbye
Ain't no heaven where I'm bound to go
But I play for the sinners they love my show
Born under a crossroad sign
A tune in my blood a howl in my spine
Mama lit candles but I crossed the line
And now I sing where the shadows shine
Crossroad sign
It's etched in my bones
I ain't alone
But I walk alone
