"Dallas" lyrics - STEVE EARLE

"Dallas"

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
