V5.5

[Intro] In the Mississippi Delta where the cotton fields sway, A drifter met fate at the crossroads’ gray. His soul’s in the balance, where the night’s thick with sin, The devil’s deal calls, and the dark pulls him in.
[Verse 1] Jack was a wanderer, with nothin’ to claim, Walked the dirt roads, chasin’ fortune and fame. At a Clarksdale crossroad, where the shadows align, He shook hands with darkness for a life more divine.
[Verse 2] The deal was a whisper, a promise of gold, But the price was his heart, now forever sold. He roamed with a hunger that no road could sate, Haunted by the bargain that sealed his fate.
[Chorus] The Crossroads Drifter, lost in the Delta’s haze, Bound by a deal that set his soul ablaze. In Mississippi’s night, where the shadows don’t bend, He’s runnin’ from the devil, with no road’s end.
[Verse 3] They saw him last by the Yazoo’s slow bend, Eyes wild with terror, like he’d seen his own end. The air grew heavy, and the sky turned to flame, Now Jack’s just a ghost with a cursed name.
[Chorus] The Crossroads Drifter, lost in the Delta’s haze, Bound by a deal that set his soul ablaze. In Mississippi’s night, where the shadows don’t bend, He’s runnin’ from the devil, with no road’s end.
[Bridge] The cotton fields whisper when the moonlight’s too thin, Jack’s footsteps echo where the devil’s been. His voice is a moan in the Delta’s cruel air, A warning to wanderers who’d risk that dark prayer.
[Alternate Chorus] The Crossroads Drifter, chained to the Delta’s call, His soul’s a shadow where the dark spirits fall. In Mississippi’s heart, where the blues never sleep, He’s a ghost on the run, with a debt too deep.
[Outro] So beware the crossroads when the stars fade away, In the Mississippi Delta, where the lost souls stray. Jack’s tale is a shiver in the night’s lonesome hum, The Crossroads Drifter, forever to come.
