Dallas After Midnight (Original Lyrics)
Ray Wylie Hubbard - ?opr. 1981 - Fox Prophet Music (ASCAP)
D G
I pulled into the alley behind the liquor store
D G
turned out the lights and left the motor runnin', Sonny opened up the door,
Em A
then he flashed me his grin, said, "this is gonna be a piece of cake,
Em A
later tonight we'll head to The Spotlight and split up the take."
D G
Sittin' there in the darkness, I take a hit off the wine,
D G
wait for the rush to hit me and it feels so fine.
Em A
Then I think of somethin' I never realized,
Em A
if I get shot tonight, I ain't ever been baptised.
[Chorus]
D G A
Oh, Dallas after midnight ?
D G A D G Em A D
oh, Dallas after midnight ? Oh, Dallas after midnight...
D G
Then Sonny came runnin' back, sweat runnin' down his face.
D G
He said, "the cat had a gun, man, I panicked, we gotta get outta this place!"
Em A
There was nothin' to do or say as we drove away.
Em A
I just kept askin' myself how'd I ever get so mean I couldn't pray?
[Chorus]
G A D
There ain't nothin' that I like better than drivin' on hard concrete,
G Em
I'd rather have a steerin' wheel in my hands than a woman at my feet.
Em A
Ever since I was a little kid I was always rowdy and loud,
Em A
take a look at me now I'm 37 years old and still runnin' around with a wild crowd.
[Chorus]
D G
Somewhere in Colorado there's a truck whose brakes just won't hold,
D G
and there's a burned-out car abandoned just south of Waco,
Em A
and there's a song comin' from a radio somewhere...
D G D
"I fought the law and the law won...
D A D
I fought the law and the law won...
D G D
I fought the law and the law won...
D A D
I fought the law and the law won..."
