about

This one is special.

The crossroads is located at the intersection of I-65, I-40, and I-24.

lyrics

let me tell you a story about nashville
it's the place to come to if you've got a soul to sell
if you're willing to pay the price and make your heart the sacrifice
he'll give you fame and take your soul to hell
'cause in this city
the devil is alive and well

well he left his home in LA cause he couldn't pay the rent
and he lived out there in Hermitage in a revival tent
then he moved into the churches and took over city hall
but he held out cause he thought the music business
would be his greatest throne of all

so if you have the talent with selfishness and greed
there he stands with open hands to give you what you need
and if you choose to come to him with a heart that's filled with pride
he'll give you your desire, his arms are open wide
cause in this city
you won't be denied

let me tell you a story about nashville
it's the place to come to if you've got a soul to sell
if you're willing to pay the price and make your heart the sacrifice
he'll give you fame and take your soul to hell
'cause in this city
the devil is alive and well
