about

This is my eighth album and the first to include covers. I'm a Gurf Morlix fan and this G M song resonates personally with me.

lyrics

I was rollin'
I was flyin' high
cards were fallin' 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
was about to let it fly
when from across the room
somebody caught my eye

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 thinkin' bout things that hadn't happened yet
I saw the instant
I lost my edge
tryin' to balance out on the ledge

he slid on in
slipped me a name
it didn't mean nothin'
but I knew just the same
he had what I wanted
he made it sound right
said I knew where to meet him
just before midnight

now I know some people
who sold their souls to the devil
and they don't sound nothin'
like Robert Johnson
