He's a wino tried and true[00:00:26]

Done about everything there is to do[00:00:29]

He worked on freighters he worked in bars[00:00:32]

He worked on farms 'n he worked on cars[00:00:35]

It was white port that put that look in his eye[00:00:41]

That grown men get when they need to cry[00:00:44]

And he sat down on the curb to rest[00:00:49]

And his head just fell down on his chest[00:00:52]

He said every single day it gets[00:00:59]

A little bit harder to handle and yet[00:01:02]

And he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered[00:01:07]

And the words just rolled off down in the gutter[00:01:10]

Well he was elevator man in a cheap hotel[00:01:17]

In exchange for the rent on a one room cell[00:01:20]

He's old in years beyond his time[00:01:24]

Thanks to the world and the white[00:01:27]

Port wine[00:01:29]

So he says son he always called me son[00:01:34]

He said life for you has just begun[00:01:36]

And he told me a story that[00:01:40]

I heard before[00:01:42]

How he fell in love with a[00:01:44]

Dallas w***e[00:01:45]

Well he could cut through the years to the very night[00:01:51]

When it ended in a w***e house fight[00:01:54]

And she turned his last proposal down[00:01:57]

In favor of being a girl about town[00:02:01]

Now it's been seventeen years right in line[00:02:07]

And he ain't been straight none of the time[00:02:11]

Too many days of fightin' the weather[00:02:15]

And too many nights of not being together[00:02:18]

So he died[00:02:24]

Well when they went through his personal affects[00:02:50]

In among the stubs from the welfare checks[00:02:53]

Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door[00:02:55]

An address in[00:02:59]

Dallas and nothin' more[00:03:00]

The welfare people provided the priest[00:03:05]

A couple from the mission down the street[00:03:08]

Sang amazing[00:03:10]

Grace and no one cried[00:03:11]

Cept some woman in black way off to the side[00:03:14]

We all left and she was standing there[00:03:22]

Black veil covering her silver hair[00:03:25]

And 'ol one[00:03:28]

Eyed john said her name was[00:03:29]

Alice and she used to be a w***e in[00:03:30]

Dallas let him roar[00:03:33]

Lord let him roll[00:03:44]

Bet he's gone to[00:03:47]

Dallas rest his soul[00:03:48]

Lord let him roll[00:03:53]

Lord let him roar[00:03:58]

He always said that heaven[00:04:01]

Was just a[00:04:04]

Dallas w***e[00:04:15]
