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
