Crossroad

(Acoustic guitar riff intro)

(Verse)

I went down to the crossroads

To cut myself a deal

This ol life is getting dull

And I’m itching for a thrill

Saw a man standing there

With a black brim hat and cane

Said just sign on that dotted line

And you’ll have all the fame

I tip my hat with a crooked smile

And signed my soul away

(Chorus)

Now I’m drinking and smoking

cheating like a fool

hanging with the wrong crowd

Playing by no one’s rules

I’m afraid I’ll live forever, cause only the good die young

Heaven don’t want me and the devil just begun

(Verse)

They said that wild life is hell of a time

it’ll put you in the grave

Jokes on them I can’t lie

Been dead ever since that day

This guitar on my lap

Been saving people when I play

Bending these strings all night and day

For the man with the cane

(Chorus)

Now I’m drinking and smoking

cheating like a fool

hanging with the wrong crowd

Playing by no one’s rules

I’m afraid I’ll live forever, cause only the good die young

Heaven don’t want me and the devil just begun

(Solo let’s the notes breath)

(Pre chorus no music, just hand clapping)

I go back to the crossroads

that ol’ Man appeared

Cracked open a cold beer

Tipped his hat

We raised a toast to trouble

And hit the road with the devils grin

(Guitar kicks back in)

(Chorus)

Now I’m drinking and smoking

cheating like a fool

hanging with the wrong crowd

Playing by no one’s rules

I’m afraid I’ll live forever, cause only the good die young

Heaven don’t want me and the devil just begun
