I pulled into the alley behind the liquor store
turned out the lights, left the motor runnin opened up the door,
I flashed a grin and said, Jack this is gonna be a piece of cake,
later tonight well head down to the Last Stand, split up the take.
Sittin there in the darkness, I take a drink of wine,
Feeln high and fast and loose, so right
wait for the rush to hit me and it feels so fine.
Then I think of somethin never realized,
if I get shot tonight, I ain't never been baptized.
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
I came runnin back, blinded by sweat, blood and tears.
I said, Jack the cat had a gun, hah, lets get outa here.
I didnt say nothin as we drove away.
I kept askin myself howd I ever get so mean I couldnt pray?
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Now there aint nothin I like better than drivin on hard concrete,
Id rather hold a steerin wheel in my hands than a woman at my feet.
Ever since I was a little kid I was always rowdy and loud,
Now here I am 34 still runnin around with the wrong crowd.
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
We had such plans for when we got to Mexico
After a high-speed chase we got caught south of San Angelo,
Well the judge he asked, whyd you want to go and rob a liquor store?
I said, well your honor its hard to live in Dallas when youre white-trash and poor.
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight, Dallas after midnight
