Get Out Of Town Before Sundown Lyrics - 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...
