Standing at the cross roads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
Standing at the cross roads again

Well, I woke up this morning like I usually do
My baby was nowhere around
I looked in the kitchen, I looked in the hall
In my slippers and dressing gown

There were lipstick traces on the bedroom door
'Goodbye' she wrote, I don't want you no more
I guess, I ain't the man she was looking for
But just the man she found

Standing at the cross roads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
Standing at the cross roads again

So, here I am on my own again
Where did I go wrong this time?
I feel like good, like a gentleman should
I never ever step out of line

You know that I'm no kid, I know my way around
Six feet tall, a hundred and sixty pound
I can't hold no romance down
Maybe I should give up trying

Standing at the cross roads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
Standing at the cross roads again

Standing at the cross roads again
Standing at the cross roads again
