It was and I was driving down a lonely Texas road The night was hot and sleep at my eyes I was 'bout the wild times and the women that I'd had The deceitful things I'd done and lies
standin' in the shadows by the side of the road Was the figure of a old man He wore a black bandanna, a stetson hat With a two scarlet hat band
He held his hand up as a sign to shut 'er down So I over and stopped at his side He opened up the door, in and sat down He said, "My it hot tonight"
I studied this old man and it seemed strange For him to be out here all And then he talkin' and he told me many things Of that both of us had known
He told me of the wild and the women that he'd had How none of them had meant a thing He told me of a night much the same as this 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 stranger told him stories that I am hearing now About the wild and all the sin
And the car got cold and clammy, and this old man at me He said, "Boy, I've come for you" Your days of wicked sinnin' come to an end As a on this earth 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 fear came o'er and my were all lost I fought with him until we finally
Next day they found the car at the bottom of the The cowboy was found beside the wreck His car had consumed by fire, the cowboy had no marks the smokin' pitchfork brand upon his neck
