Crow & Crossroads

Verse 1

Met the devil at the county line,

Singing gospel in a twisted rhyme.

He said, “Sign here, rule the show,”

I said, “Son, I’m Crow and Crossroads.”

Lightning flashed and the ground it shook,

I laughed and bowed, but didn’t look.

Chorus

I’m a deal on the run,

Between the dark and the sun.

Midnight calling what I owe—

I’m Crow and Crossroads.

Verse 2

Pen made of bone, soul to sell,

Heaven shut, but I know hell well.

Thunder cracks everywhere I go,

Shadow’s got a long echo.

The crossroads whisper secrets old,

And I pay in courage, fire, and gold.

Chorus

I’m a deal on the run,

Between the dark and the sun.

Midnight calling what I owe—

I’m Crow and Crossroads.

Bridge

One day I’ll tear that contract clean,

Till then I haunt the in-between—

The night my confessor, the moon my crown,

I wear my sins but don’t bow down.

Final Chorus

Devil’s due and time runs slow—

But I’m still Crow and Crossroads.
