Bill Anderson - Candy apple red

^CHe came speeding through the ^G7town each day at ^Csundown And his car was painted ^Fcandy apple ^Cred

He was ^Fcoming there to see the sheriff's ^Cdaughter And the sheriff didn't know it so they ^G7said

Time and ^Ctime again the ^G7sheriff tried to catch ^Chim But he always speeded ^Fup and got ^Caway

That old ^Fcounty jail stood patiently a ^Cwaiting And the sheriff vowed he'd ^G7put him there some ^Cday

Well there goes ^Fcandy apple red that's ^Cwhat the people said If he ^G7doesn't slow it down a bit he's ^Fgonna end up ^Cdead

And the ^Fsheriff's daughter said she'd ^Crather end up dead Than to ^G7live without her candy apple ^Cred

So the sheriff built a ^G7barricade to catch ^Chim And he sat there at the ^Flimits of the ^Ctown

But the ^Fsheriff's daughter had already ^Cmet him And had married him before the sun went ^G7down

When the ^Csheriff saw him ^G7coming down the ^Chighway He saw they couldn't stop and ^Fquickly caught his ^Cbreath

As they ^Fcrashed the barricade the car ^Cexploded And the boy and girl ^G7went to a flaming ^Cdeath

Well there goes ^Fcandy apple red that's ^Cwhat the people said If he ^G7doesn't slow it down a bit he's ^Fgonna end up ^Cdead

And the ^Fsheriff's daughter said she'd ^Crather end up dead Than to ^G7live without her candy apple ^Cred
