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? REPEAT 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. REPEAT 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..." REPEAT CHORUS
