Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I pulled into the alley
behind [G]the liquor store
[D]Turned out the lights,
left the motor runnin' [G]opened up the door,
[E]I flashed a grin and said,
Jack this is gonna [A]be a piece of cake,
[E]Later [Em]tonight we'll head down to the Last Stand,
[A]split up the take.

[Verse 2]
[D]Sittin' there in the darkness,
I take a [G]drink of wine,
[D]Feel'n high and fast and loose,
[G]so right
Wait for the rush to hit me
[E]and it feels so fine.
Then I think of somethin' never [A]realized,
[E]If I get shot tonight,
I ain't [A]never been baptized.

[Verse 3]
[D]Oh, [G]Dallas after [A]midnight
[D]Oh, [G]Dallas after [A]mid[D]night
Oh, [G]Dallas [Em]after mid[A]night

[Verse 4]
[D]I came runnin' back,
blinded by [G]sweat, blood and tears.
I [D]said, Jack the cat had a gun,
[G]hah, let's get outa here.
[Em]I didn[E]'t say nothin'
as [A]we drove away.
[Em]I kept askin' myself how'd I ever
[A]get so mean I couldn't pray?

[Verse 5]
[D]Oh, [G]Dallas after [A]midnight
[D]Oh, [G]Dallas after [A]midnight
[D]Oh, [G]Dallas [Em]after midnight

[Verse 6]
[A]Now the[G]re ain't nothin' I l[A]ike better
than driv[D]in' on hard con[G]crete,
[Em]I'd rather hold a steerin' wheel i[A]n
my hands than a woman at my feet.
[G]Ever since I was a [A]little kid I was
[D]always rowdy and [G]loud,
[Em]Now here I a[E]m 34 still r[A]unnin' around with the

[Interlude 1]
wrong crowd.

[Verse 7]
Oh, [D]Dallas after midnight
Oh, Dallas after midnight
[G]Oh, [Em]Dall[A]as after midni[D]ght

[Verse 8]
We had such plans for when we got [G]to Mex
ico
[D]After a high-speed chase chase we
got caught south of San [G]Angelo,
[E]Well the judge he asked,
why'd you want to go and rob a [A]li quor store?
I [E]said, well your honor it's hard to live in Dallas
when you're [A]white-trash and and poor.

[Verse 9]
[D]Oh, [G]Dallas after [A]midnight
[D]Oh, [G]Dallas after [A]midnight
