lyrics

I’m famous in Dallas

I said come on little girl, come into my palace
And I gave her some wine, from a golden chalice
Into a deep sleep she fell, many hours she did miss
And when she woke from her dreams, well then I told her this:

I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
… I’m famous in Dallas

Many years did go by, she became my slave
She grew thin and worn, old, withered and pale
But I told her again, about the great times I’d had
When I was the star of the south, yeah I owned that town

I was famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas

You know she never escaped, all her life here she stayed
And every morning of that life, well I made her say:
You are a country music hero, and you really float my boat
But one morning she refused, and so I had to slit her throat

I was famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
I’m famous in Dallas
