I was rolling, I was flying high Cards were falling, from out of the sky I was way up, on top of the game I could see like an eagle, hold my hand in the flame
I knew I had it, the moment was mine It was all so clear, so frozen in time (I was) about to lay it down, (I was) about to let it fly But from across the room, somebody caught my eye
CHORUS: Now you can find a crossroads, make you a deal Take a chance, spin the wheel Strike a bargain, for what you think you need But you’re gonna get cut and you’re gonna bleed
I got a little nervous, I hedged my bet I started thinking about things that hadn’t happened yet I saw the instant, I lost my edge Trying to balance, out on the edge
CHORUS... SOLO...
He slid on in, he slipped me a name It didn’t mean nothing but I knew just the same He had what I wanted, he made it sound right (He) said I knew where to meet him, just before midnight
CHORUS...
Now I know some people, who sold their souls to the devil And they don’t sound nothing, like Robert Johnson!
