Stevie Ray Vaughan - Crossfire Lyrics






Day by day, night after night
Blinded by the neon light
Hurry here, hustlin' there
No one's got the time to spare

Money's tight, nothin' free
Won't somebody come and rescue me?

I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire

Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye
Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy
Beggin' for a dollar, stealin' a dime
Come on, can't you see that I—

I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire

I need some kind of kindness
Some kind of sympathy. Oh, no
We're stranded, caught in the crossfire

Save the strong lose the weak
Never turning the other cheek
Trust nobody, don't be no fool
Whatever happened to the golden rule?

We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
Help me

    In Step was Stevie's last and imo best studio cd. I believe had he not gone when he did, the following music would have been phenomenal.

  5. S.... M....

    Miss him...one of the BEST

  6. M.... P....

    Greatest guitarists of all-time.

  7. D.... R....

    I Miss Stevie Ray!!! Damn Helicopter crash. To many air crashes took some of Our Greatest Music Artists.

  11. M.... A....

    In 2020, here's MY list of guitar Legends, both living and those pushing up daisies (or who now have reeeally ashy knees and face, and well- everything) ... wait! I'm such a retard, they're all dead. Geez, I hear dead people... anywho:

    #4 Stevie Ray (and I love me some SRV people, just miho- go fetch yer own)
    #3 Prince (if in doubt, https://youtu.be/efhlDbZ4SmY )
    #2 James Marshall Hendrix (don't ask why, just don't- lol)
    and drumroll please...
    #1 Eddie Hazel (if in doubt, https://youtu.be/HlTjR6_aY8I who was just 21yrs old when he recorded this seminal piece, "Maggot Brain").

  12. D.... P....

  14. S.... ....

  15. S.... D....

    I don't think that bass line changes throughout the whole song

  16. E.... i....

    low key fuck lady 6a9a.. this man did everything right, he even got clean - you know man James Marshall Hendrix is right; especially in his AD career like, SRV is the best and it's not fare

  17. V.... D....

    I saw Stevie play Pier 84 on the Hudson NYC back in the mid 80s. It was sprinkling rain at the start of the Show, and was pouring rain by 30 minutes in, and they threw open the exit gates, and half the people left, but Stevie and I stuck it out. He played for well over an hour, rain pouring, that feather in his hat was flat, we were all soared, but he played on. Hands down the best, most memorable concert experience of my life. Oh yeah, I was out side listening at the start and ran in when the threw open the gates, Didn't pay a dime for the best rock-blues show I ever saw. That's Stevie to me. Now he's jamming in Rock & Roll heaven RIP my friend! =).

  18. J.... ....

  28. s.... 3....

  38. T.... E....

    Puts a smile on my face to watch this video, it puts a tear in my eye to know a Legend said goodbye 29 years ago today... R.I.P. SRV!!

  39. i.... a....

    29 years ago today the world lost the greatest guitarist of all time. R.I.P Stevie Ray Vaughn

  40. M.... D....

    Legend. Love this one. Always have lol Marilee.RIP

  41. D.... T....

    Can someone tell me what this video is about

  42. T.... ....

    663 lost their minds

  43. J.... N....

    the legend!

  44. N.... F....

    I just figured out the meaning of this song for myself, we are all caught in the crossfire off vices,sex, drugs and trying to impress others if we only stepped out of the crossfire we would be happy

  45. C.... L....

    I got stranded... When he died.
    Sometimes I like to pretend he's just touring outer space!

  46. M.... d....

    Essa fase dele estava meia Eric Clapton

  47. A.... ....

    647 People were never taught "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all"

  48. S.... W....

    Nobody had his talent. He's an Angel

  49. C.... S....

    He was finally achieving the success he deserved before he died. He was a true legend, only, most people realized that after he died.

  50. D.... F....

    This song is gnarly man, but I think it maybe part of the few songs that sound best in the live versions

  51. V.... G....

    Ti rimette al mondo. Leggenda!

  52. S.... ....

    Learn this solo if you play guitar, it may take years but you will be able to play most of his stuff if you do.

  53. S.... ....

    This is the song that made me become a musician

  54. D.... T....

    “Save the strong, lose the weak.. never turning the other cheek. Trust nobody.. don’t be no fool. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE GOLDEN RULE?”

  55. C.... Z....

    The man was just perfection musically. I will ALWAYS crank his music LOUD!!!!

  56. E.... P....

    Listening to srv makes me miss my grandpa. He's how I got my love for srv. I know hes up there playing his guitar with him💕

  57. G.... H....

    My son is named after Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  58. J.... R....

    I remember delivering newspapers while listening to this and I hoping I could see him live since he came regularly to the midwest only to hear by the time I could drive that he'd died in that copter crash. Should've been Clapton.

  59. D.... F....

    Kings get remembered but legends never die

  60. B.... T....

    SRV is a Stratocaster master and a real Texas native. Thank you SRV for being who you were and that is a great blues man. RIP SRV forever and the Crossfire video is the most popular video I have ever seen.

  61. B.... M....

    I love Stevie Ray so much!! I watch and listen to him everyday! I've seen every guitar player, and no one is better than him! Best guitar player that ever lived!

  62. J.... D....

    What is the purpose of the gay brothers feeding popcorn to each other? how does that relate to the song? I must be missing something.

  63. H.... R....

    what amp is he posing with on the rooftop???

  64. M.... B....

    This always reminds me of my uncle David. SRV was one of his favorite singers.

  65. A.... M....

    Stevie was a master of the guitar, but more importantly he was an instrument of the Master. Stevie was a humble man who, even at the height of his drug addiction was preaching for us to love each other and help others when they are down. I truly miss him...

  66. C.... V....

    Look kids, a true genius at work turning hardship into joy, god bless his soul in eternity. And about his voice, its fucking badass!

  67. S.... P....

    This guy is totally freaking amazing. Love his playing , his singing, and his unique clothing style. Total package.

  68. A.... E....

    621 people were caught in the crossfire

    A.... E....

    *624 unfortunately

  69. T.... C....

    Love you Stevie.....

  70. M.... L....

    One of my favorite srv songs

  74. Q.... M....

  75. N.... O....

    Me and an old friend were talking about this. He used the heaviest weight strings because his hands were so big and huge.

  76. T.... ....

    1989...1999...2009...2019...2029...2039...
