Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Driving south 'round midnight

Man, I must have been insane

Driving south 'round midnight

In a howling hurricane

[Verse 2]

I stopped for an old-man hitcher

At a lonely old crossroad

He said, "I'm going nowhere

I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul"

[Verse 3]

I'm not tryin' to make you

I don't want to touch your skin

I know all there is to know

About you and all your sins

[Verse 4]

Well, you ain't too young or pretty

And you sure as hell can't sing

Any time you wanna sell your soul

I've got a toll-free number you can ring

[Verse 5]

Yeah, that's what I thought he said anyway

[Verse 6]

I'm not tryin' to make you

I don't want to touch your skin

I know all there is to know

About you and all your sins

[Verse 7]

Well, you ain't too young or pretty

And you sure as hell can't sing

Any time you wanna sell your soul

I've got a toll-free number you can ring

[Verse 8]

0-8-0-0, treble-6, oh yeah

0-8-0-0, treble-6, oh yeah

[Verse 9]

I stopped for an old-man hitcher

At a lonely old crossroads

He said, "I'm going nowhere

I'm only here to see if I can steal your soul"

[Verse 10]

Look out!
