Bigger Than Dallas Lyrics
He said, “A silver dollar a day, if I’s to tell ya for true, and I been workin’ on this corner since I
turned 22, and I know
I’m hot with the coppers and there’s wolves at my door, but I got a spot beneath a board in the
dining room floor, because I’m
Bigger than Dallas, it’s righter than rain, I got two bottles, Jack and Jills, just to balance my
brain, because I’m
Bigger than Dallas, it’s harder than gold, I never sleep at night I spend em prayin’ for my soul”
and she said
“Come get lost with me somewhere in that Texas sky. Throw that life away and get lost with
me, in the Texas sky”
And she said, “Considering it all, it’s bout as good as could be, and I been workin’ on this corner
since I turned 23, and I know
It’s a hard life to live with not a place to call home, but I got a peg to hang my hat in every burg
that I roam, because I’m
Bigger than Dallas, it’s darker than night, I got a John in Fort Worth but he ain’t treatin’ me
right, because I’m
Bigger than Dallas, it’s larger than life, you know my dad back at the club he got a gun and a
knife” and he said
“Come get lost with me somewhere in that Texas sky. Leave that life behind and get lost with
me, in the Texas sky”
Tell me, where does time go, it so often moves fast comes slow, and in the end maybe it was
never as crazy as it seemed
And lookin’ back did you let it fall somewhere in the crack between the bed and wall, is that
where you left all your silly dreams
They packed up their bags and put their foot to the floor, and they been out there on the run
since they both turned 24, and I know
They hopped down to Juarez where they’re hip to the scene, they left the pigs in ATX and every
point in between, and now they’re
Bigger than Dallas, they’ve gone with the wind, they saved their souls in San Anton where they
repent for their sins, because they’re
Bigger than Dallas, they’re gone towards the light, and every now and then they both look back
and recall the night, when they said…
