Koritni - Down At the Crossroads mp3 download

Lyrics

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
