Lyrics of

Dallas

View the transcriptions
	
I lived in no holy house but the Grand Hotel
The back streets of this old town I know so well
And I've drunken no holy wine save muscatel
And now, my friend, I've got to go
To tell everyone I know

[Chorus:]
I'm sayin' goodbye, bye-bye Dallas
I can't stay, should I've been at the palace?
Yesterday, bye-bye Dallas
Got to go
And I remember when they told me so

Right now I'm a-wonderin' where the good times have gone
All the things I never loved when there was mine
A hot city and an empty pocket make a man think on
And I've been livin' low so long
I gotta get back where I belong

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Bye-bye Dallas
I can't stay, should I've been at the palace?
Yesterday, hey no farther
It's understood, livin' on under cover
Don't do no good, bye-bye Dallas
