Standing At The Crossroads

Country Joe McDonald

Put my heart inside a bottle

and place it on the shelf

I'm savin' my love for you babe

and for no one else

Though miles may come between us

my love for you still lives on

The days gone by can never die

no matter how long I'm gone



Oh, I'm standin' at the crossroads

just like a ship adrift at sea

The blues are like a bloodhound

always comin' after me

Oh I'm standin' at the crossroads

wonderin' which way to go

The blues are like my shadow

they're with me wherever I go



The times aren't always gentle

the people aren't always kind

But behind the bend might be a friend

there for you to find

But it seems like all good people

I meet as I'm travelin' through

Just sit down to talk and

before we begin

They're off with their own things to do
