Verse 1
Em

You've probably never
Am

heard of Sam Preston.
Em

I didn't till one rainy night in spring

a couple of years back.

I was barreling along
D

Highway 6
Em

into the foothills of the Rockies

in a 30 -ton diesel

carrying about 20 tons of high

-octane gasoline.

It was pretty windy, too,

as I recall,

but even though the visibility was not so good,

I had to make time on account of that
F#
Em

flat I had outside Omaha.
Bbm
Em

Almost midnight, and I wanted

to get to a diner
Am

and get some cof fee

because I needed it pretty bad.
F

I was having trouble staying awake.
Am
F
Am

I've been doing these long hauls

for about 15 years now,
D

but I never made this route.
C#
G#m

Anyway, I'm doing about 50,

and staring at the white
D

line in the highway,
Em
G#m

an d rain is splashing off
B

the windshield,
Bm

and the wipers are

going lickety -split.

And then I saw him.
Em

Now, I'm not one to pick up
D#

hitchhikers.
Em
D#

You never know. Might be a hijacker.
F#
Em

Besides, we got orders not to.
D#

I got a glimpse of him as I went by,
Em

and, what the devil,

here's an old guy
Bb

out in the storm and no raincoat,
D#

and it's a good 10 miles to anywhere.
C

So I hit the brakes hard,
F
Em

an d I could feel all that gasoline

D#

sloshing around in the big tank,
D

piling up the weight behind me.
Em

But I pumped the brakes till I stopped

and then waited for him to catch up.
D#

Boy, was he soaked.
Em

He swung up into the cab

and dropped into the seat.

Thanks, fella, he said.

Here, I said,

and I handed him a towel

that I always keep handy for washing

and shaving.
F

Before I even asked him,
Em

he tells me he was out walking


and got caught in a storm.
F
C#

Wasn't going far, he said,
D

but every little bit helps.
Em

Seemed like a gentle old guy,
F

gray hair and all.

Used to be a driver himself,
C

so he knew all about trucks and long
F

hauls.

Said he stopped driving about 10 years ago,
Am

and now he had a part -time job.

Didn't tell me what it was.

His name was Sam Preston.

Anyway, he knew the roads,

and we talked some every so often,
Dm

I'd glance over at him.
D

The lights from all the dials

on the dashboard
Am

gave him a funny look,

like he was sitting there in a
F

kind of a misty glow.
D#

And his voice was like a whisper
D#m

that somehow cut through
D#

the noise of the motor.

Those diesels make quite a racket,

you know.

Oh, he asked about my kids,


which was pretty strange,

since I didn't recall saying
F

anything about him.
Am

Well, after a while, he

told me
G#m

that the place he got off

was just a little ways ahead.
F#

and so I started to slow down.
Em

Just before he got out,
C#

he told me about a diner
Am
Em

that was about two miles up ahead,

but said to be careful
D#

because of a hairpin turn
F

just before you come to it.
Em

The curve was not so bad,

but this time of year,

there might be rock slides,

especially with all the rain.

He jumped out and thanked me,

and I leaned over to the other side of

the cab
C#

to thank him for the tip,
Em

but I couldn't see him.
C#

An d just like that, he was gone.
F

I didn't see any houses.
D#
D#m
Em

So, about ten minutes later,

I ran into that hairpin turn,
F
Em

and it was a good thing I was taking it easy,
Bbm
Em

because there in the road ahead
F
D#

was a great big rock slide,
Em

just like Sam said there might be.
D#

I left the lights on,
F

and I jumped out.
D#
Em

The truck couldn't get by,

and I'd have to call the main office.

I crawled over the big boulders,
D#

and I saw the lights of the diner.

Just then,
C#

a state trooper car drove up
Em

and told me they'd have a

bulldozer there in a couple of hours
C#
Em

and I could get through then.
B
Em

So I went over to the diner.
Bb

I made the call

and the dispatcher was pretty
Em

nasty.

I was pretty nasty back,

too, because all I could think of

was twenty tons of gasoline exploding

and me in the middle of it.
D#

Nothing to do now but wait.

I sat down for some coffee

and told the guy behind the counter

all about it.

I told him that if it hadn't been for Sam

Preston hitchhiking,

I might look something

like those hamburgers he

was frying up.

The counterman dropped a fork

and he looked at me.

Who, he said?

Sam Preston,

I said, lives around here someplace.

Maybe you know him,

used to be a truck driver.

Yeah, that's right,

said the counterman.

Sam Preston was a truck driver.

About ten years ago,

he was caught in a rock slide out there

about where your truck is standing.

He was killed.
