Candy Apple Red Lyrics - Singles - George Hamilton Iv

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 

The old county jail stood patiently awaiting 

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 the coming down the highway 

He saw they couldn't stop and so he held 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 

He didn't slow it down at all and he lies there dead 

Now the sheriff bowed his head his daughter laied there dead 

There in the arms of candy apple red
