《The Passenger》歌词

[00:00:00] The Passenger - Chris Ledoux

[00:00:11] It was dark I was drivin' down

[00:00:14] A loney Texas road

[00:00:16] The night was hot and sleep

[00:00:18] Pulled at my eyes

[00:00:21] I was thinkin' of the wild times

[00:00:24] And the women that I'd had

[00:00:26] The deceitful things I'd done and those lies

[00:00:32] Standin' in the shadows by the side of the road

[00:00:37] Was the figure of a withered old man

[00:00:42] He wore a black bandanna a ropin' Stetson hat

[00:00:47] With a two inch scarlet hat band

[00:00:52] He held his wrinkled hand up as

[00:00:55] A sign to shut her down

[00:00:57] So I pulled over and stopped by his side

[00:01:03] He opened up the door slid in and sat down

[00:01:08] He said my ain't it hot tonight

[00:01:13] I studied this old man

[00:01:15] And it seemed mighty strange

[00:01:18] For him to be out here all alone

[00:01:24] Then he started talkin'

[00:01:26] And he told me many things

[00:01:29] Of times like both of us had known

[00:01:37] He told me of the wild life

[00:01:39] And the women that he'd had

[00:01:42] How none ofthem had ever meant a thing

[00:01:47] He told me of a black night

[00:01:50] Much the same as this

[00:01:52] Of the strange and awesome things he'd seen

[00:01:57] A man beside the road had raised

[00:02:00] His hand and flagged him down

[00:02:02] So he stopped and let him in

[00:02:08] That stranger told him stories

[00:02:10] That I am hearing now

[00:02:12] 'Bout the wild times and all the sin

[00:02:18] Then the car got cold

[00:02:19] And clammy and this old man looked at me

[00:02:23] He said boy I've come here for you

[00:02:28] Your days of wicked sinnin'

[00:02:31] Have come to an end

[00:02:33] As a mortal on this earth boy you are through

[00:02:39] Then his eyes got red

[00:02:40] And fiery as he took his Stetson off

[00:02:44] To reveal his evil horns shiny and black

[00:02:49] My God the fear came over me

[00:02:51] And my senses were all lost

[00:02:54] I fought with him until we finally crashed

[00:03:05] Next day they found the car

[00:03:07] At the bottom of a draw

[00:03:10] The young cowboy was found beside the wreck

[00:03:15] His ear had been consumed by fire the cowboy had no marks

[00:03:20] Except the smoke and pitch fork brand upon his neck
