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
