Flatlanders - Dallas lyrics

rate me

(Jimmie Gilmore)

Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?

Well Dallas is a jewel, oh yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight.

And Dallas is a jungle but Dallas gives a beautiful light.

Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?

Well, Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down.

But when you are up, she's the kind you want to take around.

But Dallas ain't a woman to help you get your feet on the ground.

Yes Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down.

Well, I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind,

But I came into Dallas with a Dollar and a dime.

Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eye

A steel and concrete soul with a warm hearted love disguise

A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies

Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes
