Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You sing about the Devil like he's someone that you know
But they paved over the crossroads a long, long time ago
And the early indications are that you haven't read the signs
That he got your invitation, and you're running out of time
[Verse 2]
With a tip of your ten-gallon hat, you shuffle on down the street
You're gonna live forever in the minds of everyone you meet
But out there on the highway, underneath the bloodshot moon
The Devil's on his way to Silverlake, and he's whistling your tune
[Chorus]
Hear that howling down the river?
Feel that cold wind cross the bay
The Devil's on his way to Silverlake for to steal your old soul away
[Verse 3]
You played the captain's fiddle, yeah, you really made it sing
Just like Charlie Daniels did, but you only used one string
And out there on the edge of town, in the pouring, driving rain
The Devil came down to Silverlake, and he asked for you by name
[Verse 4]
Now there's a shadow hanging over you with its arms around your neck
You might have lost a step or two, but you're such a soulful wreck
Lightning crashes through the torn-up sky, thunder rumbles in the heat
And you think you see something from the corner of your eye
At the dark end of the street
[Chorus]
Hear that howling down the river?
Feel that cold wind cross the bay
The Devil's on his way to Silverlake for to steal your old soul away
[Chorus]
Hear that howling down the river?
Feel that cold wind cross the bay
The Devil's on his way to Silverlake for to steal your old soul away
