Candy Apple Red Lyrics
Candy Apple Red - Don Kirschner
He came speeding through the town
Each day at sundown
And his car was painted candy apple red
He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter
And the sheriff didn't know it so they said
Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him
But he always speeded up and got away
That old County jail stood patiently awaiting
And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day
Well there goes candy apple red
That's what the people said
If he doesn't slow it down a bit
He's gonna end up dead
And the sheriff's daughter said
She'd rather end up dead
Than to live without her candy apple red
So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him
And he sat there at the limits of the town
But the sheriff's daughter had already met him
And had married him before the sun went down
When the sheriff saw him comin' down the highway
He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath
As they crashed the barricade the car exploded
And the boy and girl went to a flaming death
Well there goes candy apple red
That's what the people said
He didn't slow it down it all
And now he lies there dead
All the sheriff's bowed his head
His daughter lay there dead
Cradled in the arms of candy apple red
