Walkin' off the highway I'd been tryin' to catch a ride Hungry and thirsty as a bearNot a penny in my pockets and I'd ran out of prideSo I thought I'd try to bum myself a beerWhen up stopped a well known posse starin' down at meA big old shiny badge pinned on his vestHe said if you ain't got no money and you ain't got no jobBoy I'm placing you under arrestOr you can get out of town before sundown and don't you never come backTake your tambourine and your guitar string and move on down the trackDon't like the way that you comb your hair the way you drawl you allAnd if you're not out of town before sundown you won't get out of town at allWell I hitchhiked down to Phoenix I was following the sunPrettiest place I think I've ever seen I met a sweet young lady but how was I to knowThat pretty thing was only seventeenThen I saw the red lights gleamin' and I heard the sirens screamin'A sound that fills the bravest hearts with fearAnd that old sheriff didn't stutter when to me those words he utteredBoy don't let the sun set on you hereYou better get out of town before sundown...
