Father Johnson went to the crossroads

So the Legend goes

He lived with his guitar and the Devil took his soul

The Devil took his soul

Been out here on this highway

Breathin diesel smoke

Drivin hard for hours

Tryin to make that Memphis show

People always ask me

Son what does it take

To reach out and touch your dreams?

To them I always say

Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?

Is it a fire that burns you up inside?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Are you eatin , sleepin , dreamin

With that one thing on your mind?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Cause if you want it all

You ve got to lay it all out on the line

I get to make my livin

Doin what I love

Every night I give my heart and soul

Sometimes that ain t enough

But brother, if you re like me

Lookin down that road

Be careful of that wild wind, son

Sometimes it don t let go

Can you feel it? Can you taste it?

Can you hear it? Ohh, knockin at your door?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Are you eatin , sleepin , dreamin

With that one thing on your mind?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Cause if you want it all

You ve got to lay it all out on the line

That s right

There s always a price you pay

No matter what you do

If you re gonna climb that mountain to the top

It always comes down too

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Are you eatin , sleepin , dreamin

With that one thing on your mind?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Cause if you want it all

You ve got to lay it all out on the line

Preach on brother

Father Johnson went to the crossroads

So the Legend goes

He lived with his guitar and the Devil took his soul

The Devil took his soul
