Lyrics

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"
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"
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
"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"
"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"
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"
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"
He starts crying like a little baby
"Adios, scumbag"
