Ghosts of the Mississippi

From where I'm standing it's a long way down
Ain't no simple steps just all broken ground
How to get down
Fed up and done of falling flat on my face
This ain't no race yet you're saying I gotta pick up the pace

Oh I'm coming down by the crossroads to wait
Nothing coming my way
Oh I'm coming down by the crossroads to stay
Give it away

Hell I don't ask for a thing just this way to live
I ain't wired like them no I ain't got no more to give
Meet the black suited man here's the devil in skin
He said he'd give me the whole I just gotta sell him my soul

Oh I'm coming down by the crossroads to wait
Nothing coming my way
Oh I'm coming down by the crossroads to stay
Give it away
Oh I'm coming down by the crossroads to wait
Nothing coming my way
Oh I'm coming down by the crossroads to stay
Give it away

Oh I must wait
Oh I will stay
Oh I will wait
Oh I will stay
