"Why Dallas" lyrics
(feat. Lukas Nelson)
I know the stars are bright
Above that little Texas town
I bet I'm nowhere near her mind right now
Oh but I can't say the same
It's been thundering and rain
I'm so full of all this liquor
And I'm drowning in this pain
I'm wondering
Why, Dallas, did you take her from me?
Everything was fine out here in Nashville, Tennessee
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering, "Why did you take her from me?"
If I could see the ocean
I would pour it on my head
Float around this desert
Like a possum playing dead
Maybe I could drift back to her heart
And find the bed
Maybe she'll forget last night
And everything I said
I'm wondering
Why, Dallas, did you take her from me?
Everything was fine out on a beach here in Maui
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering, "Why did you take her from me?"
Come on play something
Oh why, Dallas, did you take her from me?
Everything was perfect out here in Nashville, Tennessee
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering why did you take her?
Roll my heart right up and break it?
Yeah, why did you take her from me?
Above that little Texas town
I bet I'm nowhere near her mind right now
Oh but I can't say the same
It's been thundering and rain
I'm so full of all this liquor
And I'm drowning in this pain
I'm wondering
Why, Dallas, did you take her from me?
Everything was fine out here in Nashville, Tennessee
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering, "Why did you take her from me?"
If I could see the ocean
I would pour it on my head
Float around this desert
Like a possum playing dead
Maybe I could drift back to her heart
And find the bed
Maybe she'll forget last night
And everything I said
I'm wondering
Why, Dallas, did you take her from me?
Everything was fine out on a beach here in Maui
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering, "Why did you take her from me?"
Come on play something
Oh why, Dallas, did you take her from me?
Everything was perfect out here in Nashville, Tennessee
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering why did you take her?
Roll my heart right up and break it?
Yeah, why did you take her from me?
