Crossroads Lyrics

All you folks think you own my life
But you never made any sacrifice
Demons they are on my trail
I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell
I look to the left I look to the right
There're hands that grab me on every side

All you folks think I got my price
At which I'll sell all that is mine
You think money rules when all else fails
Go sell your soul and keep your shell
I'm trying to protect what I keep inside
All the reasons why I live my life

Some say the devil be a mystical thing
I say the devil he a walking man
He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief
He try to tell you what you want
Try to tell you what you need

Standing at the point
The road it cross you down
What is at your back
Which way do you turn
Who will come to find you first
Your devils or your gods

All you folks think you run my life
Say I should be willing to comprimise
I say all you demons go back to hell
I'll save my soul save myself

I was thinking 'crossroads' might have been about a decision that she had to make. One road she would take to satisfy the 'folks' around her but the other road she could take to satisfy her own soul. By the end she says 'I say all you demons go back to hell I'll save my soul save myself ' She saves herself. A beautiful song.

This is a very beautiful song. I think it's about doing the right thing and not being tempted by the evils of the world (the music biz, etc.)

i think this songs talks about the media influence and how they write stroy's and take pictures and basically steal her life. all she wants to do is write and sing songs that have meaning to them and does not use her fame just for the money. she is trying to good but sometimes its hard because of the pressure of being a celeb

Cover art for Crossroads lyrics by Tracy Chapman

Basic. A very stubborn individual here. More willing to satisfy their pleasures rather than doing the right thing. Wanting to satisfy themselves and their pleasures in other words rather than doing the right thing they want to satisfy their wants and needs then doing the moralistic thing. In the end that always fails and I thank God every day that I had two parents that taught me and my brothers right from Wrong in that regard. ???????? I don’t want to look back at the end of my life and have huge regret when it’s too late. And to me my parents taught me that family is everything family is number one! I would never choose someone or marry someone that has already left theirs I will tell you that! That just breaks my ❤️
