Dallas After Midnight - Ray Wylie Hubbard

I pulled into the alley behind the liquor store

Turned out the lights, left the motor runnin' opened up the door

I flashed a grin and said, Jack this is gonna be a piece of cake

Later tonight we’ll head down to the Last Stand, split up the take

Sittin' there in the darkness, I take a drink of wine

Feel’n high and fast and loose, so right

Wait for the rush to hit me and it feels so fine

Then I think of somethin' never realized

If I get shot tonight, I ain’t never been baptized

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

I came runnin' back, blinded by sweat, blood and tears

I said, Jack the cat had a gun, hah, let’s get outa here

I didn’t say nothin' as we drove away

I kept askin' myself how’d I ever get so mean I couldn’t pray?

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Now there ain’t nothin' I like better than drivin' on hard concrete

I’d rather hold a steerin' wheel in my hands than a woman at my feet

Ever since I was a little kid I was always rowdy and loud

Now here I am 34 still runnin' around with the wrong crowd

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

We had such plans for when we got to Mexico

After a high-speed chase we got caught south of San Angelo

Well the judge he asked, why’d you want to go and rob a liquor store?

I said, well your honor it’s hard to live in Dallas when you’re white-trash and

poor

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight

Oh, Dallas after midnight, Dallas after midnight
