How Bad Do You Want It

Robert Johnson went to the crossroads

So the legend goes

He left with his guitar and the devil took his soul

The devil took his soul

Been out here on this highway

Breathing diesel smoke

Driving hard for hours

Trying 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 eating, sleeping, dreaming

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 living

Doing what I love

Every night I give my heart and soul

Sometimes that ain't enough

But brother, if you're like me

Looking 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

Oh, knocking at your door?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming

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

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 to

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you need it?

Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming

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

Robert Johnson went to the crossroads

So the legend goes

He left with his guitar and the devil took his soul

The devil took his soul
