Candy Apple Red

歌詞

He came speeding through the town each day at sundown And his car was painted candy apple red He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter And the sheriff didn't know it so they said. Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him But he always speeded up and got away That old county jail stood patiently a waiting And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day. Well, there goes candy apple red that's what the people said If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead Than to live without her candy apple red. So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him And he sat there at the limits of the town But the sheriff's daughter had already met him And she married him before the sun went down. When the sheriff saw his comin' down the highway He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath As they crashed the barricade the car exploded And the boy and girl went to a flaming death. Well, there goes candy apple red that's what the people said If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead Than to live without her candy apple red...
