Deep in Dallas
A cheap room deep in the heart of Dallas on the corner of third and vine
A blinking intruder without malice Big Jims liquors neon sign
There he lies in drunken slumber daddys bought him forty winks
Mumbling curses, threatening movements, punching pillows as he sleeps
Near his bed there is a bottle Big Jims light makes it glow
Cigarettes, a Zippo lighter and an ashtray overflows
A pretty girls picture from his wallet lies crumpled on the floor
A Dear John letter lies beside it thats been crumpled even more
She played a game to test his love, what was she thinking of
You dont do that to a big farm boy drinking heavy and in love
Later she came with heavy heart, to tell him she loved him so
In his dream with no time to scream he strangled Mary Alice Lowe
Its a sad scene that were viewing, a boy that gave his heart away
A pretty young girl pale and lifeless in the dark as cold as clay
A cheap room deep in the heart of Dallas on the corner of third and vine
Through the window he went running and died in the glow of a neon sign
The moral is you dont play games with the one you love
Things change with the flip of a coin to a side youll never dream of

Sad but well written verse. That little word Love can really put a hurt on people no doubt.
