It was and I was driving down a lonely Texas road The was hot and sleep pulled at my eyes I was thinking 'bout the wild and the women that I'd had The deceitful things I'd done and those
standin' in the shadows by the side of the road Was the figure of a old man He a black bandanna, a ropin' stetson hat With a two inch scarlet hat
He held his wrinkled hand up as a sign to 'er down So I pulled over and stopped at his He opened up the door, in and sat down He said, "My it hot tonight"
I this old man and it seemed mighty strange For him to be out all alone And then he started and he told me many things Of times both of us had known
He told me of the wild and the women that he'd had How none of had ever 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 road had raised his And him down, so he stopped and let him in That stranger told him stories that I am now the wild times and all the sin
And the car got cold and clammy, and old man looked at me He said, "Boy, I've here for you" Your days of wicked sinnin' come to an end As a mortal on this boy, you are through
Then his eyes got red and fiery as he his stetson off To reveal his evil horns shiny and My God, the fear came o'er and my were all lost I fought him until we finally crashed
day they found the car at the bottom of the drop The young was found beside the wreck His car had been by fire, the cowboy had no marks Except the smokin' brand upon his neck
