The Drowning Season - Crossroad lyrics

I've searched across the this land For a thousand years I've watched the widows mourn Seen a million tears Brave men with braver words Set to rights with steel But I've told the preacher man You don't have to kneel Just bury me…at the crossroad Just bury me…at the crossroad Live by the gun…die by that code Just bury me…at the crossroad Gone are times of happiness With shadows over me They watch for signs upon my face But they will never see The trail of dead leads to my door A bullet for every name And when the sun goes down on me It will wash away my shame
