Ray Wylie Hubbard - Dallas After Midnight lyrics

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
