Candy Apple Red Lyrics

Artist: Bill Anderson
Album: Sings

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 a waiting
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 net him
And he married him before the sun went down
When the sheriff saw his 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...

Bill Anderson is one of the greatest singers there ever was. I would like to be able to get this song & also a song called, "Get While The Getten's Good. I would love to get these 2 songs on a cd, but, I haven't been able to get them as of yet.

My father wrote Candy Apple Red. His name was Houston Turner from Chattanooga, TN. I'll bet Earnest Tubb's record shop would have it on a cd from Bill Anderson's album....Good Luck!
