Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I went down to the crossroads
To cut myself a deal
This ol’ life is getting dull
And I’m itching for a thrill
Saw a man standing there
With a black brim hat and cane
Said just sign on that dotted line
And you’ll have all the fame
I tip my hat with a crooked smile
And signed my soul away
(Chorus 1)
Now I’m drinking and smoking
Cheating like a fool
Hanging with the wrong crowd
Playing by no one’s rules
I’m afraid I’ll live forever, ‘cause only the good die young
Heaven don’t want me… and the devil’s just begun
(Verse 2)
They said that wild life is hell of a time
It’ll put you in the grave
Joke’s on them, I can’t lie
Been dead ever since that day
This guitar on my lap
Been saving people when I play
Bending these strings all night and day
For the man with the cane
(Chorus 2)
Now I’m drinking and smoking
Cheating like a fool
Hanging with the wrong crowd
Playing by no one’s rules
I’m afraid I’ll live forever, ‘cause only the good die young
Heaven don’t want me… and the devil’s just begun
(Solo)
(Guitar wails, sparse bends, stomps and claps on 1 & 3, let notes breathe)
(Pre-Chorus)
I go back to crossroads
That ol’ Man appeared
Cracked open a cold beer
And tipped his hat
We raised a toast to trouble
And hit the road with the devil’s grin
(Chorus 3 (Final)
Now I’m drinking and smoking
Cheating like a fool
Hanging with the wrong crowd
Playing by no one’s rules
I’m afraid I’ll live forever, ‘cause only the good die young
Heaven don’t want me… and the devil’s just begun
