C G7 C
He came speeding through the town each day at sundown
F C
And his car was painted candy apple red
F C
He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter
G7
And the sheriff didn't know it so they said
C G7 C
Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him
F C
But he always speeded up and got away
F C
That old county jail stood patiently a waiting
G7 C
And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day
F C
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said
G7 F C
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead
F C
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
G7 C
Than to live without her candy apple red
G7 C
So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him
F C
And he sat there at the limits of the town
F C
But the sheriff's daughter had already met him
G7
And had married him before the sun went down
C G7 C
When the sheriff saw him coming down the highway
F C
He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath
F C
As they crashed the barricade the car exploded
G7 C
And the boy and girl went to a flaming death
F C
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said
G7 F C
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead
F C
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
G7 C
Than to live without her candy apple red
