The Devil Lives In Dallas

Black Hat Saloon
I should have never drove to town
On that drizzlin' Dallas night
With a half-pint of Turkey on my left hip pocket
And my paycheck in my right

I drove right into a honky tonk
One stepped to my side
Then I saw her man glaring over at me
I laid my money right down on the line

When I woke up I was laying in the alley
It was getting right close to dawn
Feeling like a turkey
My truck, my honey, and all my money was gone
Then I saw him drive around the corner
There was nothing that I could say
He thumbed a look over his left shoulder
He shrugged then he drove away

The devil lives in Dallas
He drinks from a silver chalice
He drives an El Dorado being black
Ooh he's got a smile that'll chill you
Line a women that'll thill ya
The devil lives in Dallas that's a fact
Girl I know

(Guitar - keys - violin)
