Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born in a house of storms
Mama prayed by the screen door
Daddy kept a bottle close
And a rage I couldn't ignore
I stole my first breath from the night
Took more than I ever gave
Now the ledger on my back
Got my name beside my grave
[Pre-Chorus]
At the gate where the gravel ends
I can hear them call my name
One says, "Boy, you know your sins"
One says, "Boy, you know your shame"
And I stand where the road splits off
With my hands too stained to hide
Lord, I need a word from you
'Cause I can't choose this side
[Chorus]
I'm at the crossroads now
(At the crossroads now)
God and the devil pull me down
(Pull me down)
The only key to heaven is grace
(The only key is grace)
I need it now, I need it now
[Verse 2]
The devil laid out every wrong
Like a row of nails in the sand
Every lie I ever spoke
Every hurt from my own hand
He said, "Look what you have been
Look what you made of your soul"
Then the Good Lord raised a scarred-up palm
And said, "I still want you whole"
[Pre-Chorus]
At the gate where the gravel ends
I can hear them call my name
One says, "Boy, you know your sins"
One says, "Boy, you know your shame"
And I stand where the road splits off
With my boots sunk in the dust
Lord, I need a word from you
'Cause I can't fix this mess myself
[Chorus]
I'm at the crossroads now
(At the crossroads now)
God and the devil pull me down
(Pull me down)
The only key to heaven is grace
(The only key is grace)
I need it now, I need it now
[Bridge]
If mercy has a door, let it swing
If mercy has a sound, let it sing
I ain't asking to be made clean
I'm asking just to be redeemed
Let that old black shadow fall
Let that river take my shame
'Cause when the lightning splits the sky
I still call Your name
[Chorus]
I'm at the crossroads now
(At the crossroads now)
God and the devil pull me down
(Pull me down)
The only key to heaven is grace
(The only key is grace)
I need it now, I need it now
[Outro]
I need it now
(need it now)
I need that grace
(at the crossroads now)

Dark country with slow swung 6/8 feel, brushed drums, mournful low strings, baritone male vocals, and a brittle acoustic guitar carrying the verse; pre-chorus tightens with a hollow piano and rising fiddle, chorus opens into wider harmony with gang shouts on the anchor phrase. Use close-mic lead with weathered doubles, short slapback on key lines, and a dust-swept mix with vinyl crackle, reversed guitar swells into choruses, and a final fretboard squeak before the last refrain., male vocals, soul, country

Prompt
Dark country, old male singing
God and the devil fighting over my soul. The only key to heaven is their grace. The devil brings up all the stuff I’ve done wrong. I’m at the crossroads.
