A Classic blues theme: A showdown with the devil

THE DEVIL’S STATION

WAITING AT THE STATION
WAITING FOR THE DEVILS TRAIN TO ARRIVE
I HAD ASKED MY SAVIOUR
IF HE’D STAND BY ME BUT HE PASSED ME BY

NOW HE’S COMING FOR ME
IN HIS BIG CAR SO WHITE AND SO PRISTINE
HE SAID SON WHAT’ YOU AFTER
I SAID I’D FACE HIM RIGHT HERE IN THE STREET

HE ASKED IF I WAS READY
HE TRIED TO COME OFF SO RESPECTABLY 
HE SAID YOU CAN STILL BACK OUT
BUT I SAID NO I NEED TO BE SET FREE

THEN HE STARTED LAUGHING
YOU MAY NOT THINK YOU NEED ME, BUT YOU DO
DON’T YOU SEE HOW EASY
HOW EASY I CAN MAKE IT ALL FOR YOU


IF YOU COULD HAVE JUST ONE THING
OR EVERYTHING YOU’D EVERY WANT TO DO.
WOULD YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT THING?
OR CHOOSE THE ONLY THING THAT YOU COULD DO?
