Title:
“Crossroads at Sunset”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1: (C – G – Em – D)
In the heart of where I come from, where the roads split in two,
(C – G – Em – D)
Is a place we used to gather, under skies so blue.
(C – G – Em – D)
We’d share stories of our childhood, dreams we hoped would come true,
(C – G – D)
In the crossroads at sunset, where I first fell for you.
Chorus: (Am – Em – G – D)
Oh, Crossroads at sunset, where the stars begin to bloom,
(Am – Em – G – D)
Home to our silent promises, whispered beneath the moon.
(Am – Em – G – D)
No matter where I wander, no matter what I do,
(Am – Em – G – D)
My heart stays in Forked Town, at the crossroads with you.

I’ve been following them since their garage days and their growth as a band has been incredible to watch. They transport me back to the crossroads of my own life, in my small hometown. It’s not just their music, it’s the stories they tell that hit home. Being a fan of Forked Town isn’t just about the music, it’s about being part of a community that’s grounded and genuine.
