Dallas Lyrics


Dallas packed her suitcase and drove off in the brand new car I bought her
She made leaving me look easy, I wish she'd made it look a little harder
I took her out of Texas when she was just a girl
But old Tennessee and me couldn't take Texas out of her
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east, then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee
By now she's leaving Memphis and everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure, that's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground
Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east, then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee, oh if Dallas was in Tennessee
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Shortly after high school, in 1970, with fellow Lubbock musicians Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock, he formed The Flatlanders. According to Ely, "Jimmie was like a well of country music. He knew everything about it. And Butch was from the folk world. I was kinda the rock & roll guy, and we almost had a triad. We hit it off and started playing a lot together.
