jammin and singin about some things on my mind...thanks for listening!
p.s. im working on some bigger more complex songs, both lyrically and rhythmically. Going to take a month. Sort of an album... in between ill be playing/singing some freestyles every couple days. But not to worry, the GOOD music is coming soon

Must Be Nice...

The song tells the story of a man who wakes up to heartbreak, loss, and inner torment. After being abandoned by the woman he loved, he finds himself haunted by memories, regret, and a deep sense of emptiness. As he wanders through life, he symbolically meets the Devil at a crossroads, representing a moment of temptation and self-reflection. Throughout the song, he grapples with themes of love, death, sin, and the search for freedom. The chorus repeats his pivotal encounter with the Devil, emphasizing how it changed him forever. Ultimately, the song paints a picture of a man shaped by suffering but still chasing redemption on a lonely road.


Lyrics:

Title: "Devil at the Crossroads"

Tempo: Slow shuffle blues – Harmonica intro over acoustic slide guitar

[Intro – Harmonica & Guitar]
[12 bars – moody, dirty slide and bent harp notes]


---

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', sky was black as sin
The bottle was empty, the fire burned within
She left a letter, said “Don’t follow me”
Now I’m talkin’ to the mirror, beggin’ to be free
The wind howled like a hound through the sycamore trees
And I swear I heard the Devil laughin’ in the breeze


---

[Chorus – Hookline]
I met the Devil at the crossroads, tryin’ to sell me my name
Love left me dyin’, but freedom calls through the flame
Oh, I met the Devil at the crossroads, and I ain’t never been the same


---

[Verse 2]
Mama told me, “Boy, don’t chase that thrill”
But I danced with danger just to feel somethin’ real
Love came like thunder, then it rolled away
Left me countin’ tombstones in the light of day
I buried my heart under blood and bone
Now I ride this highway achin’ and alone


---

[Chorus – Hookline]
I met the Devil at the crossroads, tryin’ to sell me my name
Love left me dyin’, but freedom calls through the flame
Oh, I met the Devil at the crossroads, and I ain’t never been the same


---

[Bridge – Harmonica & Guitar]
[Slow-down, heavy bends – call and response between harp and slide guitar]
[“Ain’t no savior on this road, just dust and broken souls…”]


---

[Verse 3]
Saw a preacher cryin’ by a burnin’ gate
Said, “Son, even Heaven makes you wait”
I tipped my hat and I walked on by
With a dead man’s grin and a bloodshot eye
‘Cause I ain’t afraid of Hell no more
I shook hands with death and he opened the door


---

[Chorus – Hookline]
I met the Devil at the crossroads, tryin’ to sell me my name
Love left me dyin’, but freedom calls through the flame
Oh, I met the Devil at the crossroads, and I ain’t never been the same


---

[Outro – Spoken over harmonica vamp]
Yeah… life took my woman… death took my pride…
But freedom’s just a step beyond the fire…
And the Devil?
He’s just a man with a deal you can’t trust…

[Harmonica fades into the distance]
