Johnson / Berry
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 air-mobile
(It was) custom made, like a Coupe de Ville
With a powerful motor and some hideaway wings
Push in on the bu*ton and you can make her sing.
But 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 souped-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
About 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.
