Crossroads Lyrics by Shawn James

Live at the Heartbreak House

2014

[Verse 1]
I went down to the crossroads and called the Devil by his name
He showed up and he took my hand, sayin', "Boy, you'll never be the same
Before we go you better know there'll be hell to pay"
I said, "I don't give a damn, so let's be on our way"

[Chorus]
And he spun me around before I knew it
My feet had left the ground

[Verse 2]
Now when I had my fun and the day was done, I had demons swarming 'round my head
I said, "Devil, you ain't said a word 'bout these awful things I dread"
He said, "Boy, I'm the father of lies, believe that much to be true
'Cause you signed a deal with the Devil, now your days are numbered through and through"

[Chorus]
He spun me around before I knew it
My feet had left the ground
And he spun me around before I knew it
My feet had left the ground

[Outro]
Oh
