You've got yourself a guitar, but you can't sing or play
Thinking to yourself man there has got to be an easier way
You've played for months you've played for years but still no avail
Starting to think it might be time to make
A deal with the devil

You made a deal with the devil
You made a deal with the devil

Headed down to the crossroads to meet a man at night
He'll be all dressed in black but you don't look him in the eye
You hand him your guitar and he'll tune it right for you
Take a swig from his flask and now you're singing in every tune

You made a deal with the devil
You made a deal with the devil

Now you're getting older son and you just wanna live
But you sold your soul to the devil and he takes what is his
You've only got about ten years or so
You better go on get out get on the road

You made a deal with the devil
You made a deal with the devil

Headed down to the crossroads to meet a man at night
He'll be all dressed in black but you don't look him in the eye
You hand him your guitar and hell tune it right for you
Take a swig from his flask and now your singing in every tune

You made a deal with the devil
You made a deal with the devil

Now you're getting older son and you just wanna live
But you sold your soul to the devil and he takes what is his
Don't try to run don't try to hide he's not a mortal man
Armed to the teeth I know you'll try and make one last stand

To save your soul from the devil
You sold your soul to the devil

Headed down to the crossroads with a man at your side
Well he's all dressed in black but you don't dare look him in the eye
Cause he's got your guitar that he tuned right for you
This time he'll take your soul and there's nothing that you can do

You made a deal with the devil
You made a deal with the devil
