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