Get Out of Town Before Sundown
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...
