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

Gonna stop off for a while 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 And I'm leaving this town as soon as I can

Gonna stop off for a while and see my woman And people like me just can't be free

The promo man won't let us us be

If the people who knew could get away

I'm real sure they'd leave today Now come on down and lose your mental balance

Look at me, half crazy now

Talkin' to chairs, strange and I know it

Look at me I'm doin' it now And I'm leaving this town as soon as I can

Gonna stop off for a while and see my woman
