Get Out Of Town Before Sundown — текст песни (Buck Owens)

Walkin` off the highway I`d been tryin` to catch a ride hungry and thirsty as a bear
Not a penny in my pockets and I`d ran out of pride
So I thought I`d try to bum myself a beer
When up stopped a wellknown posse starin` down at me
A big old shiny badge pinned on his vest
He said if you ain`t got no money and you ain`t got no job
Boy I`m placing you under arrest
Or you can get out of town before sundown and don`t you never come back
Take your tambourine and your guitar string and move on down the track
Don`t like the way that you comb your hair the way you drawl you all
And if you`re not out of town before sundown you won`t get out of town at all

Well I hitchhiked down to Phoenix I was following the sun
Prettiest place I think I`ve ever seen I met a sweet young lady but how was I to know
That pretty thing was only seventeen
Then I saw the red lights gleamin` and I heard the sirenes screamin`
A sound that fills the bravest hearts with fear
And that old sheriff didn`t stutter when to me those words he uttered
Boy don`t let the sun set on you here
You better get out of town before sundown...
