Watching on the TV lately all the hot air blowing-in from The Lone Star State, it’s easy to want to substitute the word ‘Texas’ in place of ‘Dallas’ in the lyrics of the song featured in today’s video lede. The original Jimmie Dale Gilmore is the best, but having two modern left-wing icons perform it is just what this moment requires. Thank you! Original version & lyrics follow on the jump page…
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?
Well Dallas is a jewel, oh yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight
And Dallas is a jungle but Dallas gives a beautiful light
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?
Well, Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you’re down
But when you are up, she’s the kind you want to take around
But Dallas ain’t a woman to help you get your feet on the ground
Yes Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you’re down
Well, I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind
But I came into Dallas with a Dollar and a dime
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eye
A steel and concrete soul with a warm hearted love disguise
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes
