This is from Steely Dan's first single "Dallas" b/w "Sail The Waterway" which is
currently OOP. Poco most famously covered the song in the mid-seventies.
I lived in holy house but the
Grand Hotel?
Back streets of this old town I know so well?
and I drunken no holy wine save Muscatel
?And now my friend I got to go?
You tell everyone I know
?Sayin' goodbye
(chorus)
Bye bye Dallas
?I can't stay?
Should've been at the Palace
?Yesterday
?Bye bye Dallas
?Got to go
?And I remember when they told me so
Right now I'm wonderin' where the good times are gone?
All the things I never loved?
And they're what's mine?
A hot city and an empty park?
Can make a man think on?
And I been living low so long
?I gotta get back where I belong
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Alt chorus)
Bye bye Dallas?
I can't stay?
Should've been at the Palace?
Yesterday?
Hey no father
?It's understood
?Livin' low undercover?
I'm/You're no good?
Bye bye Dallas
