F Am It was dark and I was drivin' down a loney Texas road F G Am The night was hot and sleep pulled at my eyes F Am I was thinkin' bout the wild times and the women that I'd had F G Am The deceitful things I'd done and those lies F G Standin' in the shadows by the side of the road F Am Was a figure of a withered old man F G He wore a black bandanna a rolled brim Stetson hat F Am With a two inch scarlet hat band F Am He held his wrinkled hand up as a sign to shut her down F G Am So I pulled over and stopped by his side F Am He opened up the door slid in and sat down F G Am He said my ain't it hot tonight F G I studied this old man and it seemed mighty strange F Am For him to be out here all alone F G Then he started talkin' and he told me many things F Am Of times like both of us had known F Am He told me of the wild life and the women that he'd had F G Am How none of them had ever meant a thing F Am And he told me of a black night much the same as this F G Am Of the strange and awesome things he'd seen F G A man beside the road had raised his hand F Am and flagged him down so he stopped and let him in F G That stranger told him stories like I am hearing now F Am Bout the wild times and all the sin F Am Then the car got cold and clammy and this old man looked at me F G Am He said boy I've come here for you F Am Your days of wicked sinnin' have come to an end F G Am and as mortal on this earth boy you are through F G Then his eyes got red and fiery as he took his Stetson off F Am To reveal his evil horns shiny and black F G My God the fear came o'er me and my senses were all lost F Am I fought with him until we finally crashed F Am Next day the car was found at the bottom of a draw F G Am The young cowboy was found beside the wreck F His car had been consumed by fire Am but the cowboy had no marks F G Am Except the smokin' pitch fork brand upon his neck
That's it! Have fun!
