"Dallas" lyrics - THE FLATLANDERS

THE FLATLANDERS
"Dallas"

[Chorus:]
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
And Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down

[Bridge:]
Well I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind
But I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime

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

[Bridge:]
Well I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind
But I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime

[Chorus:]
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?
