Standing At The Crossroads

I'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll run into some famous names
Robert Johnson and Elmore James
I'm standing at the crossroads again
Verse 1:
Well I woke up this morning like I usually do
My baby wasn't nowhere around
I looked in the kitchen and I looked in the hall
In my slippers and my dressing gown
There was lipstick traces on my bedroom door
“Goodbye” she wrote, “I don't want you no more”
I guess I'm not the man she's looking for
I'm just the man she found
Repeat chorus:
And I'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll run into some famous name
Robert Johnson and Elmore James
Standing at the crossroads again
Solo: chorus chords
Verse 2:
Well here I am on my own again
Now where did I go wrong this time
I treat her good like a gentlemen should
And I never ever step out of line
Well I'm no kid - I know my way around
6 feet 6, I weigh 200 pounds
But I can't hold no romance down
Maybe I should give up trying
Repeat chorus:
And I'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll run into some famous names
Robert Johnson or Elmore James
Standing at the crossroads again
And I'm standing at the crossroads again
Yes I'm standing at the crossroads again
