A Man Has to Go Back to the Crossroads (Live) Lyrics

The star of the show, hard-working Mr. Dynamite, James Brown!

Sometimes when you've been misused
Feel that you've been abused
It'll leave you definitely confused
But this is what you do, remember

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Sometimes it's tough, sometimes it's rough
And sometimes your loved ones, they don't love you just enough
Oh, it's so hard, but it's fair
When there's someone that loves you
They're jivin', and they don't care

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Sometimes it looks like my whole life has changed
And sometimes the ones that say they love me
It seems, it seems that they have changed so strange
Alright, I know it's tough, it's hard but it's fair
When someone says they love you, and you know they don't care

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself
Help me, soul, let me go back to the crossroad so I can find myself

Sometimes I get lonely way in the middle of the night
The reason why I get lonely, I must
Have did something just wasn't right
So I got to go back to the crossroad
Won't you admit it, baby, you come on and go with me
