At the Crossroads Lyrics

Leaving me girl and moving on down the road
You left me many burdens such a heavy load
And it sure does bring me out when I think about what went down
Well the crossroads all my life it has been

And I'm so afraid but now I'm trying to see
I just rode on through life till I took the time to concentrate on you
Well you can preached me like a lesson
You can bring me a lot of gold

But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul

I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you babe cause now I know that you ain't mine
And where you're living now you'll find out and how that you never had a friend
Well you can preached me like a lesson

You can bring me a lot of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul

Well I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you girl cause now I know that you ain't mine
Some day a change will come and you'll be there beside me one more time
One more time

Yeah!
And you'll be there beside me
One more time
Yes you'll be there beside me
One more time

Leaving me girl and moving on down the road
You left me many burdens such a heavy load
And it sure does bring me out when I think about what went down
Well the crossroads all my life it has been

And I'm so afraid but now I'm trying to see
I just rode on through life till I took the time to concentrate on you
Well you can preached me like a lesson
You can bring me a lot of gold

But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul

I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you babe cause now I know that you ain't mine
And where you're living now you'll find out and how that you never had a friend
Well you can preached me like a lesson

You can bring me a lot of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul

Well I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you girl cause now I know that you ain't mine
Some day a change will come and you'll be there beside me one more time
One more time

Yeah!
And you'll be there beside me
One more time
Yes you'll be there beside me
One more time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
