Like a tall drink of water from an empty well Honey drippin’ from the tongue of the tales she tell Ain’t no angel sent form heaven, no She’s a woman with the devil’s soul And the devil is callin’ me back home
Forty nights in the desert from where she came No food no water just the love she made Ain’t no angel sent from heaven, no She’s a woman with the devil’s soul And the devil is callin’ me back home
Here I’m walkin’ at the crossroads callin’ And I don’t know which way to go Here at the crossroads where it’s love or my soul Looks like love, she’s callin’ me back home
Saw the flood ‘fore I felt the rain come down Then I watched as her levee broke this town I’m a man and I’m standing tall I will fight after every fall But understand that I’m just a man, that’s all
Crossroads callin’ to a dead man walkin’ And love, she’s callin’ me back home
