Something a bit out of left field, fancied writing something a little more soulful, more like the Bill Withers records from the 70s.
Seemed to demand something different structurally, chorus first with it acting more like a mantra to return to.
Features more vocal tracks than I've even done (and I've done a lot before!)
Hope you like it!
Tom.

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
(T J Boswell)
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want, he don't want my soul
I’ve asked the lord to save me oh so many times
But he ain’t ever come through
Seems no one ever had a plan for this broken man
The good word never spoke to
So who do I turn to?
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want, he don't want my soul
Every time I find I’m at a crossroads
I hang round a little longer
Now I know just what I’m worth in heaven
on earth I’m bound to wander
No one to lift me up or drag me under
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
But he don't want my soul, no more
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
So who do I turn to?
I tried to make a deal with the Devil
And where do I go
Cos I been round this great big world
Looking for a place to call my home
But nobody wants what I got to give, no
No one
No one wants my soul!
