Midnight Chase at the Bayou

Lyrics

Verse: Deep down by the bayou Where everything is cold was a house on the prairie That Stood tall and old And inside was a man But his face he never showed He was the meanest, fiendish, Ruthless, leanest Man On this county node And one day I walked up To his door Without a single bone of fear I looked him right in the eyes With no surprise And told him to listen here I need a place to hide In the heat of the night And I’ll pay what you like See I came from Down south And that’s where I take pride But on the count I had to killed a man The sheriff wanna hang my hide And that’s when the man Spoke he said go ahead Come inside Chorus: [Guitar picks up] In the heat of the night I’m On the run No time to stop Until I see the sun Hear the dogs howling As the chase begun The sheriff on my tracks And I’m not stunned Got to reach the next city So I can’t stop, With no time to waste I’m on the clock There’s a bounty list And I’m at the top They wanna skin my Just Hide like a fox Verse: As the dogs howl loud they’re getting close Can’t celebrate now No time to toast The man hide me beneath His boarded floor A secret corridor Now climb inside And just be quiet You’ll never be found He said rest assure Not a moment goes by I took a sigh As I heard a knock at the door It was sheriff and his buddies Looking all muddy from crossing Across the plains He said excuse kind sir Don’t know if you heard But we looking for a man Who we believed to be insane Can you tell if you’ve seen him He’s dangerous no doubt The man jumped back And demanded that The sheriff must get out For no man round here Is hiding here the strange man Screamed and shout And he slammed the door before the blood hounds Could sniff me out Bridge: Traveling on this lonely road In the heat of the night It sure is cold Cuz I’m a wanted man That’s on the go There’s no turning back Once you’re on the road Chorus: In the heat of the night I’m On the run No time to stop Until I see the sun Hear the dogs howling As the chase begun The sheriff on my tracks And I’m not stunned Got to reach the next city So I can’t stop, With no time to waste I’m on the clock There’s a bounty list And I’m at the top They wanna skin my Just Hide like a fox
