Before We Reach The Crossroads

She was my one and only we were only seventeen
Some touchin' and some talkin' mostly walkin' round in a dream
We had no problems no worries at all
We had not read what was written on the wall

Before we reach the crossroads
Before we're circled by the wolves of life
Before we're burdened body and soul
Before we reach the crossroads

We were only small town boys sure did do some crazy things
Just a little wild at heart always trying out our wings
Some called us reckless we'd take a chance
The music was free and we lived for the dance

Before we reach the crossroads...

Down at the crossroads I'll tell you friend
You roll the dice and the game begins
Sometimes it's a seven sometimes it's not
But you'll be left holding whatever you got
[ steel ]
A father like my father never let the family down
Feeling like I'm carrying the weight of the world around
When I'm in troubled waters lost at sea
My only harbor is those old memories

Before we reach the crossroads...
Before we reach the crossroads
