Delta Crossroads

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Left Baton Rouge with a case and a dream Pocket full of change, shirt sleeve torn at the seam Heard that old river calling through the summer rain Said, "Boy, keep walking, don't you chase the same pain" [Verse 2] Played tin-can bars where the floorboards shook Paid his dues in smoke and a red-eye look Every scar on his hands told a midnight tale Every bend in the note cut like a hammer to the nail [Pre-Chorus] He been burned, he been lost He been counting every cost But the road kept turning And his heart stayed burning [Chorus] Keep on rolling, brother, keep on rolling (keep on rolling) Down that long black road he's holding (he's holding) From the swamp to the sea He's been chasing what he's meant to be Keep on rolling, brother, keep on rolling (keep on rolling) [Verse 3] In Macon he found an old church light Made that broken room ring on a Friday night Women raised their hands, men stomped the floor He sang like a man who had been dead before [Pre-Chorus] He been bruised, he been tried Still the fire lived inside Every mile kept teaching Every wound kept preaching [Chorus] Keep on rolling, brother, keep on rolling (keep on rolling) Down that long black road he's holding (he's holding) From the swamp to the sea He's been chasing what he's meant to be Keep on rolling, brother, keep on rolling (keep on rolling) [Bridge] Now the sky got gold on a Georgia lane He can hear old ghosts in the windowpane But he smiles at the dark, lets the silence pass 'Cause a bluesman's soul don't ever fade too fast [Final Chorus] Keep on rolling, brother, keep on rolling (keep on rolling) Down that long black road he's holding (he's holding) From the swamp to the sea He's been chasing what he's meant to be Keep on rolling, brother, keep on rolling (keep on rolling) Yeah, keep on rolling, brother, keep on rolling (keep on rolling)
