Well, I'm standing by the crossroads, the devil says to me.
Son, you've got to be a man and sell your soul to me.
I said, and what do I get, he said I'll give you fame.
I said I don't want nothing you can have it all the same.
Well, I'm standing by the crossroads, the devil he looks pissed.
He said I cannot take your soul take riches instead.
I said I don't want nothing, my soul ain't much to me,
He said I cannot take your soul, I can't take it for free.
So I beat the devil at the crossroads of shame,
The devil walked off muttering something about how I was to blame.
I got to keep my own soul and seek riches and fame.
I won't seek out the devil at the crossroads of shame.
