Dallas Theme

Some things aren't built to last They burn out, run out of gas, yeah Most things come and go Outta style, they lose their glow but Best things you've gotta keep Sweetest honey meant to be Picture perfect, put together And only getting better Just like a red wine, apple pie Rolex, suit and tie Grandaddy's Caddy shined up Sitting in the drive Mayberry, fishing pole John Denver, country road You know it once you find it No other word describes it Girl your love is timeless Oh so timeless You help me figure out Just what my mama told me about yeah When the right one comes along She'll hit you like a classic song She'll dance around up in your head You'll hang on every word she said And fifty years down the road She'll still be good as gold Just like a red wine, apple pie Rolex, suit and tie Grandaddy's Caddy shined up Sitting in the drive Mayberry, fishing pole John Denver, country road You know it once you find it No other word describes it Girl your love is timeless Oh so timeless You're a diamond A '59 Gibson You're the rhyme and You're getting finer with time You're timeless You're so timeless Just like that Red wine, apple pie Rolex, suit and tie Grandaddy's Caddy shined up Sitting in the drive Mayberry, fishing pole John Denver, country road You know it once you find it No other word describes it Girl your love is timeless You're so timeless Oh so timeless

In a cloud of dust, I picked you up off your front porch My old truck was lifted That summer dress messing with my head Caught the wind just a little bit and lifted And it sure felt good (it sure felt good) You were holding my hand (you were holding my hand) Looking out over that hood (looking out over that hood) Singing John Mellencamp And we were high on nothing but living and loving Running down something called a dirt road dream Our own little world, one boy, one girl Seventeen and riding that sweet southern breeze Lifted, like a song from a choir Lifted, like a flame from a raging fire Lifted First kiss out under the stars I've kissed before but that old bar was lifted New spot, we found my old guitar You're dancing around with your arms lifted And you sang along like you'd never be gone And we were high on nothing but living and loving Running down something called a dirt road dream Our own little world, one boy, one girl Seventeen and riding that sweet southern breeze Lifted, like a prayer from a sinner Lifted, checkered flag, finish line for the winner Lifted And we were high on nothing but living and loving Running down something called a dirt road dream Our own little world, one boy, one girl Seventeen and riding that sweet southern breeze Lifted, like a sail in the wind Lifted, girl let's go back again

(Donald Fagen & Walter Becker) I lived in no holy house but the Grand Hotel The back streets of this old town I know so well. And I drunk of no holy wine save muscatel; Now my friend, I've got to go, You tell everyone I know I'm sayin' goodbye, bye, bye, Dallas; I can't stay. Should have been at the palace Yesterday Bye, bye, Dallas; got to go And I remember when they told me so. Right now I'm wonderin' where The good times have gone; All the things I never loved when they wwas mine. Hot city and an empty pocket make a man think on; I've been living low so long, Gotta get back where I belong. I'm sayin' goodbye, bye, bye, Dallas; I can't stay. Should have been at the palace Yesterday Bye, bye, Dallas; got to go And I remember when they told me so. Bye, bye, Dallas; I can't stay. Should have been at the palace Yesterday. Ain't no bother; it's understood Livin' under cover don't do no good. Bye, bye, Dallas.

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
