I made a Deal with the Devil
Down at the Crossroads just the other day
I made a Deal with the Devil
but there's a High Price that I had to Pay
He said, "Son...if you want to be a Rock & Blues Star"
"make a Deal with me and you'll go Far"
So I made the Deal
I signed with my Blood on the Dotted Line
I was Glad that made the Deal
because Fame and Fortune would be Mine
I'm gonna live the Good Life for a while
Everything I do will be the Style
I tried hard to make it in the Business
This deal was the Break that I needed
I tried so hard to make it in the Business
but those Jerks were just too conceded
They told me that I was an Un-Talented Disgrace
When I make it Big...I'm gonna stick it in their face
It's been A Year since I made the Deal
Nothin' has changed, everything is still the same
It's been A Year since I made the Deal
Playin' for Pennies, nobody even knows my name
I'm goin' back down to the Crossroads
and I'm gonna get what I've been sold
We were standing down at the Crossroads
The Devil looked at me and said that he Lied
We were standing down at the Crossroads
He said that he could change the Rules and my hands were Tied
"If you didn't read the Fine Print....oh well"
"When you're Dead and Buried, I'll see you in Hell"
