Roadside Cross

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm comin' out of Kingman one night and I saw this dude hitchin' He had a guitar, so I said, "Jump in, son, my radio's busted Maybe you can play me a song or two" Said, "Sure, I'll play you a song" [Chorus 1] He sang, "I'm the I-40 killer The devil's trail boss And when they find your body I'll put up a roadside cross A roadside cross" [Verse 2] I said, "Son, well, I don't like that song too much, why don't you play another?" Then he pulled out a gun, said "Pull over on the side of the highway I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch Then he started singin' that song again, hummin' it kinda creepy [Chorus 1] "I'm the I-40 killer The devil's trail boss When they find your body, boy I'll put up a roadside cross A roadside cross" [Bridge] "Get out of the cab now, you got any last words before you die?" "Son, you don't have to do this" "Don't you tell me what now" [Verse 3] So we're out in the desert and the full moon's shinin' down So I said, "Let me have one last smoke," so I rubbed my mojo hand in my pocket Then a sidewinder comes out of nowhere, strikes him in the hand The gun falls on the ground, kick him in the teeth and I grab the gun I said, "Well, let me hum you a little song, boy" [Chorus 2] Said, "You may be the I-40 killer The devil's trail boss But I'm a voodoo trucker sum'bitch And they'll never find your body, not even a roadside cross Not even a roadside cross" [Outro] He starts crying like a little baby "Adios, scumbag"
