I know the stars are bright Above that little Texas town I bet I'm nowhere near her mind right now Oh but I can't say the same It's been thundering and rain I'm so full of all this liquor And I'm drowning in this pain I'm wonderin'
Why Dallas did you take her from me Everything was fine out here in Nashville, Tennessee We went from chasing Amarillo Now I'm chasing memories I'm wondering why did you take her from me
If I could see the ocean I would pour it on my head Float around this desert Like a possum playing dead Maybe I could drift back to her heart And find the bed Maybe she'll forget last night And everything I said I'm wonderin'
Why Dallas did you take her from me Everything was fine out on a beach here in Maui We went from chasing Amarillo Now I'm chasing memories I'm wondering why did you take her from me
Come on play somethin'
Oh why Dallas did you take her from me Everything was perfect out here in Nashville, Tennessee We went from chasing Amarillo Now I'm chasing memories I'm wondering why did you take her Roll my heart right up and break it Yeah why did you take her from me
