dead or gone to dallas - steve earle & reckless kelly lyrics lyrics

once upon a time, this was the all+american town
kinda place you live your whole life with both your feet on the ground
never met a stranger when you’re walking down the street
made the kinda memories you keep
now everybody’s dead or gone to dallas
and i don’t know why i’m hanging around

now my daddy met my mama at a dance in the high school gym
he was in love at first sight, but she wasn’t so sure about him
well, then my sister come along and me after that
more cousins you can shake a stick at
now everybody’s dead or gone to dallas
and i reckon i’m a+following them

it used to be you didn’t need to go anywhere
further than the county line
everything anybody needed was here
unless you’re just a rambling kind

[instrumental break]

once they shut the sawmill and the creamery down
it didn’t take a g+nius to know
you’re gonna get a job and then you’re headed outta town
ain’t but just one way to go
well, there used to be a grocery on main street and a five+and+dime
a pharmacy, a funeral home, an old building supply
take a wild guess which of them’ll survive
’til there ain’t n0body left alive
now everybody’s dead or gone to dallas
and i know it’s just a matter of time

yeah, dead or gone to dallas
and some are further down the line

- dead or gone to dallas lyrics
