He held his wrinkled up as a sign to shut 'er down So I pulled and stopped at his side He up the door, slid in and sat down He said, "My it hot tonight"
I this old man and it seemed mighty strange For him to be out here all And then he started talkin' and he told me things Of times both of us had known
He told me of the wild life and the that he'd had How of them had ever meant a thing He told me of a black night much the same as Of the and awesome things he'd seen
A man beside the had raised his hand And flagged him down, so he and let him in That stranger told him that I am hearing now the wild times and all the sin
And the car got cold and clammy, and this old man at me He said, "Boy, I've here for you" Your days of wicked sinnin' come to an end As a on this earth boy, you are through
his eyes got red and fiery as he took his stetson off To his evil horns shiny and black My God, the fear came and my senses were all lost I with him until we finally crashed
Next day they found the car at the bottom of the The young was found beside the wreck His car had been consumed by fire, the had no marks Except the smokin' pitchfork brand upon his
