The Outlaws

Hurry Sundown is the third studio album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in 1977. The title track became a concert staple and fan favorite. Four members of the band, Hughie Thomasson, Henry Paul, Billy Jones, and Harvey Dalton Arnold (who replaced Frank O'Keefe on bass) contributed songwriting and lead vocals. Paul would leave the band after the album's release. Lyrics: Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall You can see his shadow in the light of the moon They had heard the gypsies' call She had hair as black as darkness, eyes of emerald green Oh, her voice was soft and tender, oooh she loved sing She will sing no more, or dance again or shake her tambourines They had taken her away, she was dead and gone, hear the gypsies sing Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown (the gypsies' cry) Silver devils in his holsters, stars strapped to his heels There was fire in his eyes, they say that he was dressed to kill He had hands as fast as lightning, a heart as cold as steel He had come for the one that took her life, to lie him in Boot Hill Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name As the midnight hour grew closer and the sky began to fall You can see their shadows in the light of the moon They had heard the gypsies' call Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown Ooh, hurry Sundown

There Goes Another Love Song" is a song by the American Southern rock band Outlaws. Written by Hughie Thomasson and Monte Yoho, it is the opening track and lead single from the band's 1975 debut album Outlaws. It became a top 40 hit, peaking at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at number 30 in the Netherlands in November 1975. The song was written by Hughie Thomasson and Monte Yoho. Thomasson's voice is the one commonly associated with the group because he sang two of the band's most popular songs, "There Goes Another Love Song" and "Green Grass and High Tides". Lyrics: Sometimes I feel like I'm getting kinda low Thoughts that I'm thinkin' are the reason So I try to remember without talkin' to myself Things that I said or maybe things that I felt about you Sittin' in a corner of a crowded bar room People all around me and I still feel alone Just when I know I'm gonna break down and cry Someone played a tune that dried the tear from my eye There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need more than a friend Lonesome and lonely, far from my home Tryin' to get back to where I know I belong Wishin' and hopin' I was already there I just heard a voice whispered in my ear, singin' There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need more than a friend There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need it more than a friend There goes another love song Someone singin' about me again There goes another love song Now I need more than a friend

"Green Grass & High Tides" In a place you only dream of Where your soul is always free Silver stages, golden curtains Filled my head, plain as can be As a rainbow grew around the sun All the stars above who died came from Somewhere beyond the scene you see These lovely people played just for me Now if I let you see this place Where stories all ring true Will you let me past your face To see what's really you It's not for me I ask this question As though I were a king For you have to love, believe, and feel Before the burst of tambourines take you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Those who don't believe me Find your souls and set them free Those who do, believe and know This time will be your key Time and time again I've thanked them For a peace of mind That helped me find myself Amongst the music and the rhyme That enchants you there Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, souls and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you Yeah, they play just for you
