Down At the Crossroads - Koritni

Let me tell ou a story, it’s been told a hundred times

I think Robert Johnson was the first man

To strike a deal and sign the dotted line

It’s about a boy, becoming a man, learning what it’s like to loose

Everything he had he was willing

To trade for a lifetime of women and booze

He went west of the river, following the railroad tracks

He was looking for an evil dealer;

You know there ain’t no turning back

Welcome to the crossroad, bargain with your soul

Down at the crossroad, it’s all for rock’n’roll

He got a funny feeling, felt like somebody watching him

Out came a man in a three piece suit with a friendly crocodile grin

He said «Sign on the line and your dreams will come true»

He signed and then the paper burned

«Think of this as a favour to you but one day

I’ll want a favour in return»

He went back to the city, became a singer in a band

Got a record deal he was sitting pretty, everything was going to plan

Welcome to the crossroad, bargain with your soul

Down at the crossroad, it’s all for rock’n’roll

Fame and fortune’s come so easily

Now i have got such a bad case of insasiable greed

I don’t think that life could get any better than this

All because a deal was made at the crossroads in Memphis

And so twenty years passed, and he forgot about the covenant made

Until a man knockned on his mansion door

Dressed in a tailored suite of Suede

The man had a familiar style, he had the smile of a crocodile

He held a contract and said

«Boy it’s time to go to hell because your soul is mine»

So that completes the story of our tragic hero’s demise

Can you work out where we learnt to sing?

We can be your guides

And take you to the crossroads, bargain with your soul

Down at the crossroads it’s all for rock’n’roll

Welcome to the crossroad, bargain with your soul

Down at the crossroad, it’s all for rock’n’roll
