Dallas 1pm Lyrics

Down on main street the scene was set
They check out the fuel turn the radio on
Open the gates, assemble the gun
Wait at the red, for the president's run

The world was shocked that fateful day
A young man's life was blown away, away
Dallas 1 p.m., 1 p.m.

Right and left in the back of the head
Screaming confusion, shots rip the air
Cadillac racing, cops on the run
They couldn't believe the president's hit

(Guitar Solo)

The shooting stunned as I seemed to run
Is he dead, no-one will say
Around the world the news was flashed
We sat and watched your tragic history

The world was shocked that fateful day
A young man's life was blown away, away
Away.. yeah, yeah
Dallas 1 p.m., 1 p.m.

The world was shocked
In Dallas 1 p.m.
We sat and watched
The tragic history

The world was shocked
In Dallas 1 p.m.

It's obviously about the Kennedy assassination.

Classic Saxon song about the Kennedy assassination. Interesting that a song so archetypical to British heavy metal is about an important event in American history.

Also, the correct line is "they couldn't believe the president's shot."
