Crossroads


Meet me at the crossroads

when the moon is good and high

bring me some of that moonshine

we gon' make a deal tonight

 

Devil's in the details

watch that dust kick up and swirl

such a shame

to play this game

I was daddy's little girl

 

Glowing eyes against the sky

smooth as silk and fire

runnin on pure energy

and smoking with desire

 

Turned around

looked up and down

where the devil could he be?

imagine my surprise

when he turned out to be me
