Robert Johnson Told Me So

Catch a train going down the track

I don't care if I never go back

If the going gets tough, then it's time to go

Robert Johnson told me so

Took a trip down Texas way

Never even knowing I would rule the day

Took my rider there with me

But I was blind, I could not see

Hurt my head, broke my heart

I don't really know what tore us apart

That's the way we love and learn

Jump in the fire and you're bound to burn

Catch a train going down the track

I don't care if I never come back

If the going gets tough, then it's time to go

Robert Johnson told me so

Wringing my hands and crying

Some days feel like dying

Robert Johnson told me so

But I never thought I'd sink so low

I got heartache by the number

Lord, I can't take my slumber

Hellhounds on my trail

Try my best to hide but to no avail

Catch a train going down the track

I don't care if I never come back

If the going gets tough, then it's time to go

Robert Johnson told me so

At the crossroads of my life

I don't know to turn left or right

Not sure if up is down

How did I get so turned around?

So down the road, the road I go

I ain't got time for moving slow

Move faster than the wind can blow

Robert Johnson told me so

Catch a train going down the track

I don't care if I never come back

If the going gets tough, then it's time to go

Robert Johnson told me so
