"Dallas" by 10000 Maniacs

[ Jimmie Dale Gilmore ]



Chorus: 
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night? 
Dallas is a jewel 
Yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight 
Dallas is a jungle 
But Dallas gives a beautiful light 
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night? 

Now Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down 
But when you are up she's the kind you wanna take around 
Now Dallas ain't a woman to help you get your feet on the
ground 
And Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down 

Oh, I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind 
I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime 

Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes 
A steel concrete soul with a warm-hearted love in disguise 
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies 
I say, Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his yes 

Oh, I came into Dallas with the brights lights on my mind 
I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime 

Chorus
