Dallas After Midnight

D                                   G
I pulled into the alley behind the liquor store
D                                                  G
turned out the lights and left the motor runnin?, Sonny opened up the door,
Em                                                      A
then he flashed me his grin, said, ?this is gonna be a piece of cake,
Em                                            A
later tonight we?ll head to The Spotlight and split up the take.?

D                                        G
Sittin? there in the darkness, I take a hit off the wine,
D                                   G
wait for the rush to hit me and it feels so fine.
Em                                 A
Then I think of somethin? I never realized,
Em                                       A
if I get shot tonight, I ain?t ever been baptised.

D   G            A
Oh, Dallas after midnight ?
D   G            A          D   G            Em   A   D

oh, Dallas after midnight ? Oh, Dallas after midnight...

D                                           G
Then Sonny came runnin? back, sweat runnin? down his face.
D                                                          G
He said, ?the cat had a gun, man, I panicked, we gotta get outta this place!?
Em                                   A
There was nothin? to do or say as we drove away.
Em                                            A
I just kept askin? myself how?d I ever get so mean I couldn?t pray?

REPEAT CHORUS

G                          A                                D
There ain?t nothin? that I like better than drivin? on hard concrete,
G                                                               Em
I?d rather have a steerin? wheel in my hands than a woman at my feet.
Em                                                   A
Ever since I was a little kid I was always rowdy and loud,

Em                                                  A
take a look at me now I?m 37 years old and still runnin? around with a wild crowd.

REPEAT CHORUS

D                                                       G
Somewhere in Colorado there?s a truck whose brakes just won't hold,
D                                                    G
and there?s a burned-out car abandoned just south of Waco,
Em                                         A
and there?s a song comin? from a radio somewhere...

D                         G   D
?I fought the law and the law won...
D                        A    D
I fought the law and the law won...
D                        G   D
I fought the law and the law won...
D                        A    D
I fought the law and the law won...?

REPEAT CHORUS
