Stop Light Observations Lyrics
"When the Sun Rises"

Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Dance, pretty girl, I know
Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Take my hand and when the sun rises we can go

Well I am just an innocent man
No scars on my heart and no blood on my hand
But no no no sat the jury telling the judge another tale
For the verdict called the shot and my girl cannot pay the bail

So what's it gonna be says the prosecutor with a greasy grin of hope
Is it the chair, or the chambers, or that old forsaken rope
Now Judge Jackson sips of water and says with a smile
The offender's hangin' will be public on the first Friday of July

Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Dance, pretty girl, I know
Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Take my hand and when the sun rises we can go

Well they locked me up and threw my old life behind
And I know those children were so young but that magnum was not mine
But in this thought and confusion in my brain that swished and swirled
The only thought that did me good was one last dance with my girl

So I started making plots, started making plans
Gonna break out of this hell
So we can dance like that first sweet day I met you at Aunt Nancy's water well

Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Dance, pretty girl, I know
Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Take my hand and when the sun rises we can go

My cellmate Samuel said all you've gotta do is run
But when I leave this jail I don't give a hell
We're gonna dance until we see the sun
The moment came so I stuck like mud and ran
Out the wild gates into the fader a free and wanted man

Well the warren and the sheriff set the search and grabbed their guns
But by that time my girl and I were two steppin' into the sun

Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Dance, pretty girl, I know
Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Take my hand and when the sun rises we can go

Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
Oh, let's dance, I know
Dance, pretty girl, let's dance
