Dallas After Midnight

(专辑： Caught In The Act - 1984)

I pulled in the alley behind the liquor store
Turned out the lights, left the motor running, and opened up the door
I flashed a grin and said, "Well, Jack this is gonna be a piece of cake
Later tonight we'll head down to The Last Stand and split up the take"

Sitting in the darkness, I take a drink of wine
Feeling high and fast and loose and so right
Then I think of something I'd never realized
If I get shot tonight I ain't never been baptized

Oh, Dallas after midnight
Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight

I came running back, blinded by sweat, blood and tears
I said, "Jack, the cat had a gun, let's get out of here"
I didn't say nothing as we drove away
I kept asking 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 nothing I like better than driving on hard concrete
I'd rather hold a steering wheel than have a woman at my feet
Ever since I was a little kid, I was always rowdy and loud
Now here I am, thirty-four, still running 'round with the wrong crowd

Now we had such plans for when we got to Mexico
After a high speed chase we got caught just south of San Angelo
Well, the judge, he asked, "Why'd you wanna 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
