Crossroads
Adam Calhoun Lyrics

These dirt roads ain't gold down there
The roads here are rough and barren with no hope of prosperity or happiness.

It's hell on earth, anything goes down here
This is a terrible place where anything is possible, even the worst possible outcomes.

Lookin' for some holy water at the water hole
I am searching for salvation in all the wrong places.

But all I'm findin' is whiskey and beer
Instead of finding spiritual relief, I'm only finding temporary distractions and vices.

And I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner to the core
I am not just committing occasional sins, but rather it's a fundamental part of who I am.

Searchin' like the devil, to find the Lord, yeah
I am desperate to find God, just like the devil is desperate to bring people down.

Heaven knows I need help sometimes
I am aware that I need divine intervention to overcome my flaws and weaknesses.

'Cause I love to have a hell of a time
I enjoy indulging in sinful activities rather than wholesome ones.

I said, I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner, Lord save me
I am owning up to my faults and pleading for salvation from God.

But please pour me up a drink before you take me
I still want to enjoy the pleasures of life before leaving it behind for eternal life.

If you can turn water into wine
If God can perform miracles like turning water into wine, he surely can grant my request.

I'm sure you make a hell of a shine, yea
If God can do such amazing things with water, imagine the wonders he can do with other substances.

I can't help it Lord, yea
I am acknowledging that I am not perfect and that I need divine assistance.

I'm sinnin' every day
I am committing sins every day, and I cannot seem to get away from them.

I need your help and I pray, Amen
I am asking God for his help in overcoming my sinful inclinations and behaviors.

I'm climbin' to the top of that mountain
I am making an effort to go beyond my current situation and achieve a higher level of spiritual awareness.

I'm tryin' to find you God
I am searching for God in my life and trying to strengthen my faith in him.

Keep tryin' to be an angel, but still, raisin' hell (hell)
Although I am trying to be good, I still struggle with sin and temptation.

Can't make it out this world alive
No one can live forever on this earth, so I need to focus on achieving eternal life in heaven.

I just want a piece of heaven, before I die
I hope to experience a glimpse of heaven on earth before I pass on.

So pass me the apple pie
I want to indulge in earthly pleasures one last time before departing from this world.

I'm gonna drink it all down, 'til the jar goes dry
I intend to make the most of my time left on earth and indulge in my favorite vices before it's too late.

Baptized in the lake of fire
I have been through trials and hardships that have changed and strengthened me for the better.

Should have drowned me when you could, but I'm still alive
Despite facing many difficulties, I have persevered and survived.

I'm comin' for your ass like a bat outta hell
I am determined to succeed and will stop at nothing to achieve my goals.

You can bet I'm gonna take what's mine, oh
I have worked hard and suffered for what I have, and I will defend it at any cost.

Preacher man gonna preach to me
I am tired of hearing people lecture me about what I should and should not do.

You should pull up a chair and have a drink with me
Instead of judging me, you should sit down and listen to my story and understand my struggles.

Sweatin' like the devil with the lies you told
You are not being truthful with me, and it is making me uncomfortable and suspicious.

You better start prayin' to save your soul, oh no
You should start fearing for your own soul and change your ways before it's too late.
