Crossroads Lyrics & Tabs by Nikki Sudden & Rowland S. Howard
Crossroads
guitar chords lyrics
Kissed the car made out of your lips
I polished it until it shone
I saved every dollar I made
I saved every dollar I made.
I buried your heart at the crossroads
Where the milestones mark the way
And the dew fell across the stones
And the way to your grave.
I met you at the crossroads
In nineteen-thirty-four
I met you down by the crossroads
I met you there.
I saw you that morning
Dead roses in your hair
And a bunch of nettles in your hand
I saw you that morning
Dead roses in your hair
And a bunch of nettles in your hand
The smile on your face said you didn't care.
I met you at the crossroads
Where the milestones mark the way
And a box of roses was all that was left
To show the way to your grave.
I rode off with you in the cadillac
I stole all the arrows as well
I rode off with you in the cadillac
With another tale to tell.
I buried your heart at the crossroads
Where the milestones mark the way
I buried your heart at the jericho tree
And no-one knows what to say to me now
Not to me now
Not to me now
Not to me now.
And down by the crossroads
I still wait somedays
I wonder if you'll ever return
How long I have to wait.
Been waiting for twenty years now
They say you're dead or in jail
But who cares honey
I'll find you again someday.
And one day I'll wake up
And I'll bury your heart
Yea one day I'll wake up
And make a new start.
