Dallas

(album: Celebration, Florida - 2011)

Ocean of stars, why've I gone so far?
I miss my home
I hear those engines drone
The runway is set
Let's move this fucking jet, I have to go
Despite all the sleet and snow

Just a late night host leaving Dallas
With a portrait done in velvet
Just a three night run at the palace
And I've never in my life felt so alone

I worked for the show
Stars would come and go
I worked the lights
I even swept some nights
But now I'm the host that's worthy of a toast
Don't you agree my little honeybee

Just a late night king leaving Dallas
With a portrait done in velvet
Just a three night run at the palace
I'll be at 17th and Broadway by tonight

So far away from all these wonders
Even as the roulette spins
I was escorted seventeen miles
Came upon all winds bend
Even in dreams of light
I can still hear her call through the tall grass and weeds
And I know I'll never be the same on this road to calvary

Just a late night host leaving Dallas
With a portrait done in velvet
Just a three night run at the palace
And I never in my life felt so alone
And I never in my life felt so alone
