It was dark and I was driving down a lonely road The night was hot and sleep at my eyes I was 'bout the wild times and the women that I'd had The things I'd done and those lies
When standin' in the shadows by the of the road Was the of a withered old man He a black bandanna, a ropin' stetson hat With a two inch hat band
He held his wrinkled up as a sign to shut 'er down So I pulled over and at his side He opened up the door, in and sat down He said, "My it hot tonight"
I studied old man and it seemed mighty strange For him to be out here all And he started talkin' and he told me many things Of times that of us had known
He told me of the wild life and the women he'd had How none of them had ever meant a He told me of a black night much the same as Of the strange and things he'd seen
A man beside the road had raised his And flagged him down, so he and let him in That stranger him stories that I am hearing now About the times and all the sin
And the car got cold and clammy, and old man looked at me He said, "Boy, I've come for you" Your days of wicked have come to an end As a mortal on this boy, you are through
Then his got red and fiery as he took his stetson off To his evil horns shiny and black My God, the came o'er and my senses were all lost I fought him until we finally crashed
Next day they found the car at the of the drop The cowboy was found beside the wreck His car had been consumed by fire, the cowboy had no the smokin' pitchfork brand upon his neck
