You know that I'm no kid, I know my way around
'Goodbye' she wrote, I don't want you no more
I can't hold no romance down
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
So, here I am on my own again
I guess, I ain't the man she was looking for
I feel like good, like a gentleman should
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
There were lipstick traces on the bedroom door
Standing at the cross roads again
Where did I go wrong this time?
Standing at the cross roads again
Standing at the cross roads again
Maybe I should give up trying
Standing at the cross roads again
Six feet tall, a hundred and sixty pound
In my slippers and dressing gown
Well, I woke up this morning like I usually do
My baby was nowhere around
Standing at the cross roads again
I never ever step out of line
Standing at the cross roads again
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
But just the man she found
I looked in the kitchen, I looked in the hall
