Ray Wylie Hubbard - Dallas after midnight

^DI pulled into the alley behind the l^Giquor store ^Dturned out the lights and left the motor runnin', S^Gonny opened up the door, ^Emthen he flashed me his grin, said, "this is gonna be a p^Aiece of cake, ^Emlater tonight we'll head to The Spotlight and ^Asplit up the take."

^DSittin' there in the darkness, I take a h^Git off the wine, ^Dwait for the rush to hit me and it f^Geels so fine. ^EmThen I think of somethin' I never r^Aealized, ^Emif I get shot tonight, I ain't ever been ^Abaptised.

^DOh, ^GDallas after ^Amidnight ? ^Doh, ^GDallas after ^Amidnight ? ^DOh, ^GDallas after ^Emmidni^Aght.^D..

^DThen Sonny came runnin' back, sweat runnin' ^Gdown his face. ^DHe said, "the cat had a gun, man, I panicked, we gotta get ^Goutta this place!" ^EmThere was nothin' to do or say as we ^Adrove away. ^EmI just kept askin' myself how'd I ever get so ^Amean I couldn't pray?

^GThere ain't nothin' that I ^Alike better than drivin' on hard ^Dconcrete, ^GI'd rather have a steerin' wheel in my hands than a woman at my ^Emfeet. ^EmEver since I was a little kid I was always rowdy and ^Aloud, ^Emtake a look at me now I'm 37 years old and still run^Anin' around with a wild crowd.

^DSomewhere in Colorado there's a truck whose brakes just ^Gwon't hold, ^Dand there's a burned-out car abandoned just south of ^GWaco, ^Emand there's a song comin' from a radio some^Awhere...

^D"I fought the law and the ^Glaw ^Dwon... ^DI fought the law and the ^Alaw w^Don... ^DI fought the law and the ^Glaw ^Dwon... ^DI fought the law and the ^Alaw w^Don..."
