At Least We Have Dallas

She was walking away from 12 years of his face.

So many memories that have been erased

His life didn't turn out like he wished it could

He wanted to give her everything he said he would

His drinking grew and then was out of control

He just couldn't crawl out of that black hole.

He took one last look and wished she could stay

And before he left she heard him gently say

Baby I'm sorry for the hard times.

I woulda loved you for a lifetime.

Go on and spread your wings and fly.

I wish I could have been the guy

To build you that big beautiful palace

But baby, at least we still have Dallas.

Dallas was a special place for her and me

And one night, spontaneously I got down on one knee

It's the place where we first met.

we sat hand in hand watching the sunset.

Then one day I got laid off.

After two years I felt so lost.

Finally the bottle took her place.

And I held her as I would say

Baby I'm sorry for the hard times.

I woulda loved you for a lifetime.

Go on and spread your wings and fly.

I wish I could have been the guy

To build you that big beautiful palace

But baby, at least we still have Dallas.

She tried to make it work but it just wasn’t right

He just couldn’t be the guy by her side

She said Baby I never needed the palace…...

I just wanted you and Dallas.
