Buck Owens and the Buckaroos - Get out of town before sundown

^DWalkin' off the highway, I'd been tryin' to catch a ride Hungry and thirsty as a ^A7bear Not a ^A7penny in my pockets and I'd ran out of pride So I thought I'd try to bum myself a ^Dbeer When up ^Dstepped a well known posse starin' down at me A big old shiny badge pinned on his ^A7vest He said if ^A7you ain't got no money and you ain't got no job Boy I'm placing you under ar^Drest

N.C.

Or you can ^Dget out of town before ^Gsundown And ^A7don't you never come ^Dback Take your ^Dtambourine and your ^Gguitar strings and ^A7move on down the ^Dtrack ^DDon't like the way that you ^Gcomb your hair the ^A7way that you drawl you ^Dall And if you're ^Dnot out of town before ^Gsundown you won't ^A7get out of town at ^Dall

Well I ^Dhitchhiked down to Phoenix, I was following the sun Prettiest place I think I've ever ^A7seen I ^A7met a sweet young lady but how was I to know That pretty thing was only seven^Dteen Then I ^Dsaw the red lights gleamin' and I heard the sirens screamin' A sound that fills the bravest hearts with ^A7fear And that old ^A7sheriff didn't stutter when to me those words he uttered Boy don't let the sun set on you ^Dhere

N.C.

You better ^Dget out of town before ^Gsundown And ^A7don't you never come ^Dback Take your ^Dtambourine and your ^Gguitar strings and ^A7move on down the ^Dtrack ^DDon't like the way that you ^Gcomb your hair the ^A7way that you drawl you ^Dall And if you're ^Dnot out of town before ^Gsundown you won't ^A7get out of town at ^Dall
