Dallas After Midnight (Original Lyrics)Ray Wylie Hubbard - ©opr. 1981 - Fox Prophet Music (ASCAP)D GI pulled into the alley behind the liquor storeD Gturned out the lights and left the motor runnin', Sonny opened up the door,Em Athen he flashed me his grin, said, "this is gonna be a piece of cake,Em Alater tonight we'll head to The Spotlight and split up the take."D GSittin' there in the darkness, I take a hit off the wine,D Gwait for the rush to hit me and it feels so fine.Em AThen I think of somethin' I never realized,Em Aif I get shot tonight, I ain't ever been baptised.CHORUS:D G AOh, Dallas after midnight ??D G A D G Em A Doh, Dallas after midnight ?? Oh, Dallas after midnight...D GThen Sonny came runnin' back, sweat runnin' down his face.D GHe said, "the cat had a gun, man, I panicked, we gotta get outta this place!"Em AThere was nothin' to do or say as we drove away.Em AI just kept askin' myself how'd I ever get so mean I couldn't pray?REPEAT CHORUSG A DThere ain't nothin' that I like better than drivin' on hard concrete,G EmI'd rather have a steerin' wheel in my hands than a woman at my feet.Em AEver since I was a little kid I was always rowdy and loud,Em Atake a look at me now I'm 37 years old and still runnin' around with a wild crowd.REPEAT CHORUSD GSomewhere in Colorado there's a truck whose brakes just won't hold,D Gand there's a burned-out car abandoned just south of Waco,Em Aand there's a song comin' from a radio somewhere...D G D"I fought the law and the law won...D A DI fought the law and the law won...D G DI fought the law and the law won...D A DI fought the law and the law won..."REPEAT CHORUS
