[Verse 1]
[Em]I wa[D]s si[C]x[G][C][G]
[Em]
teen years of age
when I [A]fled my family's [Am]house
And I [C]hitchhiked down the [Bm]highway
[B]tryin' to make my way down [Em]south
It was [C]in the dead [Am]of winter
and it [G]chilled me to the bone
But I was [Am]sixteen years of age
just try[C]ing to get a message [G]home[Am][G]
[Em]It was cold and it was windy
and I was [A]two days in my flight
[Am]And my shoes were almo[C]st
[Am]wore[Bm] through
And the [B]day was almost [Em]night
When the [C]only car I [Am]saw that day
Came a [G]-rollin' into view
I just [Am]ran onto the highway
For to [C]see what I could [G]do[C][G]
I [Em]waved my arms and hollered,
and the [A]car did slow [Am]down
And I [C]asked the man inside to [Bm]help me,
for to [B]get to the very next [Em]town
He [C]nodded yes, and I [Am]jumped inside,
I was [G]thankful, safe and warm
But the [Am]stranger kept his eyes ahead
and drove [C]straight into the [Em]storm[D][C][G][C][G]
I [Em]guess I must have fell asleep
cause I [A]couldn't tell how [Am]long
When I woke [C]up in [Am]a hu[Bm]rry,
would I feel [B]I was something w[Em]rong?
[C]The stranger was still driving[Am],
and he [G]did not say a word
And I [Am]asked him many questions,
but I [C]seemed not to have [Em]heard[C][G]
Then [Em]fear began to grab me,
and I [A]reached out for the door
[Am]When I almos[C]t had it open,[Bm]
well the [B]car began to soar
[Em]As it an[C]gled towards the heave[Am]ns,
well I [G]tried to catch my breath
For it [Am]was then I knew
what time it was,
and the [C]stranger's name was [Em]death
You
