On a dark, deserted back road That's where my story is first told Traveling, but lost on a map That's where my car hit a mishap
My check engine light came on " Now, what the hell could be wrong?" I stopped the car and popped the hood, But to me, everything looked good.
Hoses and liquids all seemed tight. Why won't this silly car run right?
I'd half a mind to shoot it dead Had it been a hurt thoroughbred But no, it's a mechanized beast That has me stranded and peeved.
I called a friend on the phone But no answer at his home It grew darker and I'm a fright That I'll have to be here all night
I slammed the hood and jumped inside Who knows what the darkness can hide.
The wind's moving like shadows My throat dry, hard to swallow In the dark, I saw eyes glow red As it grew close, so too, my dread
I heard a scream full of despair T'was my own voice that filled the air No escape route was in my sight No way out to fly or fight
Cops found me by a full lit moon On my neck were two puncture wounds.
They thought me dead, no sign of pulse Little suspecting, it was false I won't forget that fateful night Those cops were mine from the first bite.
