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.
