Lyrics:

I heard the songs
when I was so young
I wanted to know
who had played, who had sung

as I grew I learned
from every picture every word
every name, every place
where the music had been made

like Bobby wrote, I took to the road
hitched a ride, played guitar so I could eat
and like Robert and Pete it became my home
I learned the blues from the people I'd meet
like Waylon and Willie, I poured out my heart
tried to get the devil to tune my guitar
but he never showed, he was busy somewhere else
I was left standing on the crossroads all by myself

The street was my stage
the audience walked on by
playing songs I had made
lord how I tried

I gained knowledge
I learned so much
got close to the edge
yea I took enough


like Bobby wrote, I took to the road
hitched a ride, played guitar so I could eat
and like Robert and Pete it became my home
I learned the blues from the people I'd meet
like Waylon and Willie, I poured out my heart
tried to get the devil to tune my guitar
but he never showed, he was busy somewhere else
I was left standing on the crossroads all by myself

like Bobby wrote, I took to the road
hitched a ride, played guitar so I could eat
and like Robert and Pete it became my home
I learned the blues from the people I'd meet
like Waylon and Willie, I poured out my heart
tried to get the devil to tune my guitar
but he never showed, he was busy somewhere else
I was left standing on the crossroads all by myself
