Jimmy Buffett - Dallas lyrics

By: Roger Bartlett

1974

If you ever get the chance to go to Dallas

Take it from me pass it by

'Cause you'll only sing the blues down in Dallas

Take it from me don't go and cry

Chorus:

And I'm leavin' this town as soon as I can

Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

People do you wrong down in Dallas

I know well they've done it to me

Stealin' all your bread, they're so callous

I know well just look and see

Chorus:

Oh, and I'm leavin' this town as soon as I can

Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

And people like me just can't be free

The promo man won't let us be-ee

If the people who knew could get away

I'm real sure they'd leave today

(instrumental)

Yeah, now come on down and lose your mental balance

Look at me half crazy now

Oh, talkin' to chairs is strange and I know it

Look at me I'm doin' it know

Chorus:

Yeah, and I'm leavin' this town as soon as I can

Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

Yeah, leavin' this town as soon as I can

Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

Whoa, leavin' this town as soon as I can

Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

(Houston...)

(Houston...)

(Houston...)

(Houston...)
