Crossroads

I moved out

Of the city

To a farm

Outside of town

At night

I can't heart a sound

It's just me

And my woman

She grows tomatoes

In our front yard

Her love my roots

They're strong and hard

For the past

Few years

I been stuck

Inside my head

The few hours that

I got

Became the only

Thing we did in our bed

I let my years

Grow shorter

And my hair

Grow long

When the days

Outlast the years

Boy, you know

You're doing something wrong

I'm at a crossroads

I'm not supposed to know

Where to go

I'm at a crossroads

The road ahead is long

And there ain't no sense

In beating the light

At the crossroads

Of your life

No

Well I was hustling

To do it all

Wanted my name

In the blinking light

All before I turned 21

But a kid

Can't outrun time

If my life

Was a river

And my success

Was measured in height

My aspirations for myself

Were the watermarks left

By the Flood of '99

I'm at a crossroads

I'm not supposed to know

Where to go

I'm at a crossroads

The road ahead is long

And there ain't no sense

In beating the light

At the crossroads

Of your life

I made mistakes

I pumped the brakes

I learned a few things

But how a woman's love

Can bring you back to Earth

Well that remains unseen

I'm at a crossroads

I'm not supposed to know

Where to go

I'm at a crossroads

The road ahead is long

And there ain't no sense

In beating the light

At the crossroads

Of your life

No
