Crossroads

[riff intro] [Verse] At the crossroads I stood In Clarksdale's dusty haze Made a deal with the devil I was lost in my own craze To sell my soul for wisdom And talent so divine But little did I know The cost that's now all mine [guitar solo] [Verse] His eyes were fiery red Like burning coal in the night His voice was hauntingly sweet With a touch of pure delight He said "Boy For your soul I'll grant your every wish" I couldn't resist the temptation Fell into his wicked abyss [Chorus] Oh The devil's melody It echoes in my heart Playing the blues Tearing my soul apart With every note I feel the flames ignite The fire burns so bright Late into the night Oh Lord! [instrumental break] [extended guitar solo] [harmonica solo] [harmonica solo] [verse] At the crossroads I was Mississippi Midnight Bargained with Satan Had my future in sight To sell my all for greatness And talent so divine But little did I know The cost that’s now mine all mine [music break] [instrumental break] [guitar solo] [outro]
