A stripped-down, raw version of Crossroads. Just a man, a guitar, and everything left unsaid. No polish. No hiding. Just the truth, worn thin.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The wind don’t lie, and neither do scars,
Every step I take feels too damn far.
Got a past like a shadow that won’t let go,
Got a name on my back I don’t even know.

I’ve burned every bridge that could lead me home,
Watched love turn cold in the dead of the road.
Ain’t no mercy, ain’t no grace,
Just the weight of the choices I can’t erase.

[Pre-Chorus]
One road leads to fire, one road leads home,
One hand’s on the bottle, one’s clutchin’ stone.
They say a man can change, but I don’t know,
Guess I’ll find out at the next crossroads.

[Chorus]
Standing at the crossroads, breath like lead,
One way to redemption, one way to death.
No signs, just the wind whisperin’ low,
Tellin’ me, “Son, do you really wanna know?”
I got crossroads burned in my soul,
Ain’t no turnin’ back, gotta ride alone.
Two roads wait, only one unfolds,
So tell me, which way does a lost man go?

[Verse 2]
I seen love die in a hospital bed,
Held a hand that turned colder than the words I said.
Watched my own reflection look back ashamed,
Ain’t a prayer I can whisper that’ll fix my name.

I seen men I called brothers put steel to my chest,
Watched my father break when he lost what was left.
I been one breath from heaven, one breath from hell,
One step from leavin’ this all behind myself.

[Pre-Chorus]
One road leads to fire, one road leads home,
One hand’s on the bottle, one’s clutchin’ stone.
They say a man can change, but I don’t know,
Guess I’ll find out at the next crossroads.

[Chorus]
Standing at the crossroads, breath like lead,
One way to redemption, one way to death.
No signs, just the wind whisperin’ low,
Tellin’ me, “Son, do you really wanna know?”
I got crossroads burned in my soul,
Ain’t no turnin’ back, gotta ride alone.
Two roads wait, only one unfolds,
So tell me, which way does a lost man go?

[Bridge]
Some men kneel, some men fight,
Some men drown in the sins they hide.
Some run fast, some stand slow,
But every man faces his crossroads.

[Final Chorus]
Standing at the crossroads, weight in my chest,
One road to salvation, one road to rest.
No signs, just the night staring back at me,
Daring me to choose what I’m gonna be.
I got crossroads burned in my soul,
Ain’t no turnin’ back, gotta ride alone.
Two roads wait, only one unfolds,
So tell me, which way does a lost man go?

[Outro]
If I don’t come back, don’t say my name,
Just know I left chasin’ somethin’ I couldn’t change.
And if you ever stand where I stood so long,
Pray the road you choose don’t lead you wrong.
