Generate meaning
1
Walkin' off the highway I'd been tryin' to catch a ride hungry and thirsty as a bear
2
Not a penny in my pockets and I'd ran out of pride
3
So I thought I'd try to bum myself a beer
4
When up stopped a wellknown posse starin' down at me
5
A big old shiny badge pinned on his vest
6
He said if you ain't got no money and you ain't got no job
7
Boy I'm placing you under arrest
8
Or you can get out of town before sundown and don't you never come back
9
Take your tambourine and your guitar string and move on down the track
10
Don't like the way that you comb your hair the way you drawl you all
11
And if you're not out of town before sundown you won't get out of town at all
12
Well I hitchhiked down to Phoenix I was following the sun
13
Prettiest place I think I've ever seen I met a sweet young lady but how was I to know
14
That pretty thing was only seventeen
15
Then I saw the red lights gleamin' and I heard the sirenes screamin'
16
A sound that fills the bravest hearts with fear
17
And that old sheriff didn't stutter when to me those words he uttered
18
Boy don't let the sun set on you here
19
You better get out of town before sundown...
