Dallas

We headed out at midnight
On Highway 45
Too dumb to feel alone
Too scared to feel alive
The road was wet and shining
The world was bright and new
And so were you

I remember it like breathing
The way it made me feel
Your right hand on a Wesson
Your left hand on the wheel
The air was still and silent
The sky was black and blue
And so were you

Dallas, do you love me
You would say
Dallas, if you love me
Look away

Somewhere east of Fresno
The sun began to rise
Casting shadows on our faces
Dancing diamonds in our eyes
The birds called out a warning
The pedal hit the floor
Just us against a hundred men
Or more

Dallas, do you love me
You would say
Dallas, if you love me
Look away

The papers get it twisted
The news reports are wrong
I was perfectly complicit
I knew it all along
It was brilliant
It was flawless
It didn't go as planned
You never let the gun
Out of your hand

Dallas, do you love me
You would say
Dallas, if you love me
Look away
