Songtexte

There is a fork in the road
Leading where the soul goes
Heaven above or hell below
Then with a grin that shadowed salesman said
The first to die
Is the lucky first one going home
Oh that devil came knocking at my door today
And tried to sell me something kind
But I'd heard it all before
Didn't want to hurt no more
And so I didn't pay him no mind
Now I don't care where my bones lie when I go
Or what the words might say on stone
But if you ask me if I would like to be the last to die
No, 'cause then I'm the first to be alone
Oh that devil came knocking at my door today
And tried to sell me something kind
But I'd heard it all before
Didn't want to hurt no more
And so I didn't pay him no mind
But he's persistent as that beating of that heart in your chest
And he don't stop 'til you sign that dotted line
So when I looked him in the eye to say I'm not your guy
Oh I saw the rage build in his eyes and his horns rise
He snarled like a beast engulfed in miseries
And I remained stone cold in the face
'Cause in a world as dark as this
I am unimpressed with a lone devil and a briefcase
And so he came by with his army of his broken hearted
Strung on me into a deal
But when you show up uninvited and bring with you that bite
Oh then devil your problems just got real
So when that devil came knocking at my door today
I think he thought he'd worn me thin
'Til I invited him inside and delighted in his cries
When I showed him I'm a darker man than him
Now he won't come a-knockin' again
