Nightmare #5 Lyrics - Al Kooper

Kooper 

I was sixteen years of age when I fled my family's house 

And I hitchhiked down the highway 

Tryin' to make my way down South 

It was in the dead of winter and it chilled me to the bone 

But I was sixteen years of age 

Just tryin to get a message home 

It was cold & It was windy & I was two days in my flight 

And my shoes were almost wore through 

And the day was almost night 

When the only car I saw that day came rollin into view 

I just ran onto the highway for to see what I could do

And I asked the man inside to help me 

For to get to the very next town 

He nodded yes & I jumped inside 

I was thankful, safe & warm 

But the stranger kept his eyes ahead 

And drove straight into the storm 

I guess I musta fell asleep but I couldn't tell how long 

When I woke up in a hurry with the feel of something wrong 

The stranger was still driving and he did not say a word 

And I asked him many questions 

But he seemed not to have heard

Then fear began to grab me & I reached out for the door 

When I almost had it open 

Well, the car began to soar 

As it angled towards the heavens 

I just tried to catch my breath 

For it was then I knew what time it was 

And the stranger's name was Death
