[00:00.00]Candy Apple Red - Bill Anderson
[00:07.63]He came speeding through the town
[00:10.77]Each day at sundown
[00:13.96]And his car was painted candy apple red
[00:20.61]He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter
[00:26.99]And the sheriff didn't know it so they said
[00:33.68]Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him
[00:40.09]But he always speeded up and got away
[00:46.82]That old County jail stood patiently awaiting
[00:53.36]And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day
[00:59.76]Well there goes candy apple red
[01:03.76]That's what the people said
[01:07.15]If he doesn't slow it down a bit
[01:10.63]He's gonna end up dead
[01:13.85]And the sheriff's daughter said
[01:17.10]She'd rather end up dead
[01:20.48]Than to live without her candy apple red
[01:33.27]So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him
[01:39.58]And he sat there at the limits of the town
[01:46.27]But the sheriff's daughter had already met him
[01:52.63]And had married him before the sun went down
[01:59.32]When the sheriff saw him comin' down the highway
[02:05.79]He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath
[02:12.44]As they crashed the barricade the car exploded
[02:19.06]And the boy and girl went to a flaming death
[02:25.50]Well there goes candy apple red
[02:29.43]That's what the people said
[02:32.99]He didn't slow it down it all
[02:36.32]And now he lies there dead
[02:39.36]All the sheriff's bowed his head
[02:42.65]His daughter lay there dead
[02:46.02]Cradled in the arms of candy apple red
