Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah, yeah, yeah The gypsy flies from coast to coast Knowing many, loving none Bearing sorrow, havin' fun But back home he'll always run To sweet Melissa, oh no Freight trains, each car looks the same, all the same And no one knows the gypsy's name No one hears his lonely sighs There are no blankets where he lies In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies With sweet Melissa Again the morning comes Again he's on the run Sunbeams shining through his hair Lord, he never have a care Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on Crossroads, will you ever let him go? No, no, no Will you hide the dead man's soul Or will he lie beneath the clay Or will his spirit fly away? Lord, I know he won't stay without Melissa Yes, I know he won't stay there without Melissa, ooh No, no, no, no
