    Default minimal fee

    At the stroke of twelve I grabbed my guitar
    And headed out to the crossroads of sin
    I drove out to the middle of nowhere and parked my car
    Thats when the trouble really began
    I was approached by a strange old man
    He had fiery eyes and he was dressed in black
    He certainly wasnt johnny cash

    he had a contract from hell in his hand
    I signed in blood along the dotted line
    he promised me fame and fortune and a really cool band
    I guess that the value of my soul
    Im damned to hell for rock and roll
    If I had a second chance id do it again
    just consider that a soul well spent

    H E L L
    Im goin to hell
    Thats just the way its gotta be
    Well oh well
    Guess im goin to hell
    I sold my soul to the devil for a minimal fee

    now its 12 am 10 years down the line
    I awake to the devil at my door
    hes pounding away and telling me ive run out of time
    we signed the deal 10 years to the day
    Thats the way it is I have no say
    on my knees prayin to jesus and maria
    guess the shows over folks, well, see ya

    H E L L
    Im goin to hell
    Thats just the way its gotta be
    Well oh well
    Guess im goin to hell
    I sold my soul to the devil for a minimal fee

    (Solo)

    Well oh well
    Guess im goin to hell
    Thats just the way its gotta be
    H E L L
    Im goin to hell
    I sold my soul to the devil for a minimal fee

    Great! I love the lines "He had fiery eyes and he was dressed in black/ He certainly wasnt johnny cash". Solid songwriting. I just feel there needs to be maybe one more verse.

    I was thinking the same thing, but I dont know where to go with the third verse. Any suggestion?

    Maybe a verse about when it's time to give the devil his due. A verse about when it comes time to pay up.

    well, oh well, guess I'm going to hell...
    Hahahaha! I simply LOVE this irony here.
    Deal made, off you go, like a little boy promising his dad to remember what the deal was.
    No questions asked. Mr Death has come to take you away.
    I don't miss anything. I would hate to see to many explanations.
    Just a nice beat to it, the crowds could pump up and down, hands in the air,
    all heading for hell
