Cross Creek Road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took the blue sky and turned it into rain
I left this town in disarray
The wind keeps blowin' through a skeleton of pain
I got to keep on movin' when no one knows my name

[Chorus]
We're only travelers on this road
I've seen enough to keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road

[Verse 2]
I heard the whispers of a thousand fire flies
Buzzing around my empty head
I can't remember how it feels to really cry
Over something long ago
If it was me, I just don't know

[Chorus]
We're only travelers on this road
I've seen enough to keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road

[Bridge]
I drenched your memories once
Take me to a different time
I wanna stay awhile
I wanna see you smile

[Chorus]
We're only travelers on this road
I've seen enough to keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road
I've seen enough too keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road

My Favorite Mistake

[Verse 1]
I took the blue sky and turned it into rain
I left this town in disarray
The wind keeps blowin' through a skeleton of pain
I got to keep on movin' when no one knows my name

[Chorus]
We're only travelers on this road
I've seen enough to keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road

[Verse 2]
I heard the whispers of a thousand fire flies
Buzzing around my empty head
I can't remember how it feels to really cry
Over something long ago
If it was me, I just don't know

[Chorus]
We're only travelers on this road
I've seen enough to keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road

[Bridge]
I drenched your memories once
Take me to a different time
I wanna stay awhile
I wanna see you smile

[Chorus]
We're only travelers on this road
I've seen enough to keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road
I've seen enough too keep me going
Some things are simply not worth noting
I found my peace on Cross Creek Road

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.
