         D                   G          D          D/C#     Bm
Well she found herself a new man with a long black Mercedes Benz 
    D                A                       G
She had her tattoo removed so she wouldn't embarrass him in front of his friends 
D                           G             D         D/C# Bm
Moved into the Highland Park house got her nails and nose fixed
          D                      A                 G
But as he tried to keep her from sneakin' out held me from slippin' back in 


Chorus:
G                    D                     G           D 
Dallas you're just a slow moving river of aluminum and steel
G            D                          Bm                 G
It took Lord all I could deliver like a muddy road takes a wheel
G                    D                G                    D 
One last drag from a cheap cigar, now hang it there in the wind
D                 A                   G         D
Dallas honey I'm leaving you for the last time again


There's a Mexican girl on the corner, she's sellin' roses from her hands
Man, it's plain to see that for her and me, Lord this ain't the promised land
Well, I don't need those roses today but I could use a little company 
Man I'll bet she's got some people down in Mexico,  yeah that she would like to see
