Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dallas, you're a damn good town to leave
I been leavin' you forever, or that's how it feels to me
Goddamn the god who set his streak of stubbornness in me
Dallas, you're a damn good town to leave
[Verse 2]
Lily, you're the best of friends at times
Loyal to a fault, somehow the fault was always mine
Steady as the day is long in deepest wintertime
Lily, you're the best of friends at times
[Chorus]
So raise that ancient barroom brawl along with me
Life is surely gonna be the death of me
Knock me down and whip me 'round until I cannot see
Dallas, you're a damn good town to leave
[Bridge]
Smartest girl I ever knew
Couldn't keep her clothes on ever too
How I ask you gentlemen
How could I resist?
[Verse 3]
So cheers all you dearest hearts of mine
I know I tried your patience just as much as you tried mine
Your aim was always truest when you'd spit into my eye
Cheers all you dearest hearts of mine
[Chorus]
So raise that ancient barroom brawl along with me
Life is surely gonna be the death of me
Knock me out and whip me 'round until I cannot see
Dallas, you're a damn good town to leave
Dallas, you're a damn good town to leave
