Candy Aple Red lyrics

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 net him
And he married him before the sun went down

When the sheriff saw his comin` 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
