Six Pennies at Midnight

Drop

Stealing the fire

Out at the crossroads

Chorus

Stood where the four ways meet

Burn the herbs on the heat of the street

Devil tried to buy what I got

Stealing the fire from his holy spot

I ain't selling

No I ain't selling

Stealing the fire

Fire in my hands

Verse 1

Midnight mist moving slow through the pines

Seven pennies flipped on the county lines

I didn't kneel to the shadow man

He reached for my heart but I took his plan

Gripping the embers until they turn red

Better than walking with the living dead

Snatching the spark

Leaving him in the dark

Leaving him alone

Pre-Chorus

No paper signed

No blood on the line

Told him I'm fine

Told him I'm fine

Chorus

Stood where the four ways meet

Burn the herbs on the heat of the street

Devil tried to buy what I got

Stealing the fire from his holy spot

I ain't selling

No I ain't selling

Stealing the fire

Fire in my hands

Drop

Fire in my hands

Stealing the fire

Verse 2

Cigar smoke drifting round my dirty boots

Got the mojo working way down in the roots

Old Scratch looked surprised

Seeing that lightning inside of my eyes

I am the match and the fuel and the flame

Forgot how to even pronounce his name

Broke every curse

Took his heavy purse

Took it all home

Pre-Chorus

No paper signed

No blood on the line

Told him I'm fine

Told him I'm fine

Chorus

Stood where the four ways meet

Burn the herbs on the heat of the street

Devil tried to buy what I got

Stealing the fire from his holy spot

I ain't selling

No I ain't selling

Stealing the fire

Fire in my hands

Bridge

He wants a bargain (wants a bargain)

He wants a fee (wants a fee)

But the flame was always

Inside of me

Inside of me

Chorus

Stood where the four ways meet

Burn the herbs on the heat of the street

Devil tried to buy what I got

Stealing the fire from his holy spot

I ain't selling

No I ain't selling

Stealing the fire

Fire in my hands

Drop

I ain't selling

Stealing the fire
