Went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everyone pa**ed me by
Went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord : ‘Have mercy, mercy if you please'
Going down to Rosedale, forty-four on my side
Going down to Rosedale, forty-four on my side
……………………….. on the riverside
You can run, you can run, go tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, go tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
……………………………, believe I'm sinking down
Bought myself a brand new airmobile
It was custom made, it was a Flight DeVille
With an outboard motor and some hideaway wings
Push in on the bu*ton and you can make her sing
Well you can't catch me, no baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers
Here come a flattop, he come movin' up with me
Then come sailin' goodbye in a little old suped up mini
I put my foot in my tank and I begin to the toll
Moanin' sirens, was the state patrol
So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn
Bye bye New Jersey, I become airborne
And you can't catch me, no baby, you can't catch me
If you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze
