T he sky is fallin' and the ground is reachin' up
The r iver's goin' by and the water's gettin' high and I feel like givin' up
Stand in' in the downpour with these rainy day crossroad blu es
Got those wo ods on my left, city on my right, do n't wanna sleep alone tonight again
Ho le in my coat, h ole in my shoes, s ittin' in Mobile singin' the blues about you
C＃
Company people call my house most every day
C＃
Won't let a body concentrate
Gotta get some peace that way
Wa itin' for that water risin', think I'll put my guitar in my boat
'Cause I'm floatin' to the nearest le vy just to lay down
In that sand
J ust pickin' wild be rries, gettin' st ung by honey bees
The L ord above and the d evil bel ow havin' a f ight inside of me
Th inkin' ' bout my gu n, maybe t hat will set me free
'Cause t hunder and l ightnin' are tr apped inside of me
Innocent d arlin' why you treat your daddy this way?
The price of the question is a mi ghty hard price to pa y
'Cause you b rought these r ainy day cr ossr oad bl ues my way
I can't t ake it no more
