The sky is fallin' and the ground is reachin' up
The river's goin' by and the water's gettin' high and I feel like givin' up
Standin' in the downpour with these rainy day crossroad blues
Got those woods on my left, city on my right, don't wanna sleep alone at night again
No I don't
Hole in my coat, hole in my shoes, sittin' in Mobile singin' the blues about you
Yes I am
 
Company people call my house most every day
Won't let a body concentrate
Gotta get some peace that way
Watchin' muddy water rising, think I'll put my guitar in my boat
Yes I will
'Cause I'm floatin' to the nearest levy just to lay down
In that sand
 
Just pickin' wild berries, gettin' stung by honey bees
The Lord above and the devil below havin' a fight inside of me
Thinkin' ' bout my gun, maybe that will set me free
'Cause thunder and lightnin' are trapped inside of me
 
Innocent darlin' why do you treat your daddy this way?
Yeah
The can find some other question is a mighty hard price to pay
Yes it is
'Cause you brought these rainy day crossroad blues my way
I can't take it no more
