Candy Apple Red |
| 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 had married him before the sun went down |
| When the sheriff saw him coming 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 |
