The Back Side of Dallas - Jeannie C. Riley[00:00:00]
Written by:Foster Jerry/Rice Bill[00:00:01]
On the back side of dallas[00:00:08]
In the dingy bar on a wornout stool she sits[00:00:10]
And her trembling hand[00:00:15]
Thumbeles for another kingside filter cigarette[00:00:17]
She blows a puff of smoke then settles back[00:00:24]
And look across that light blue haze[00:00:26]
And from the back side of dallas[00:00:31]
Her mind goes driftin' back to other days[00:00:34]
Meet me in dallas on june the 23rd his letter read[00:00:40]
On the greyhound of this big town[00:00:48]
She came to be with him just like he said[00:00:50]
Then suddenly he left her for reasons[00:00:56]
That she still don't understand[00:00:59]
And on the back side of dallas[00:01:04]
A girl must turn her way as best as she can[00:01:06]
It's a long way to dallas[00:01:12]
For a small twon girl from the middle of tennessee[00:01:14]
A tenth grade education[00:01:20]
Won't get you no kinda job here in big d[00:01:22]
Hunger pains and prides are things[00:01:28]
That just don't go hand in hand for long[00:01:30]
And on the back side of dallas[00:01:35]
A hungry small town girl can't find a home[00:01:38]
On the back side of dallas[00:01:44]
Nervously she takes another pill[00:01:46]
On the back side of dallas[00:01:52]
Tonight like other nights she drinks her fill[00:01:54]
She pays the man behind the bar[00:02:00]
And leave the change for twenty dollar bill[00:02:01]
If you're ever feelin' lonesome[00:02:07]
Man you want to find someone who feels the same[00:02:09]
She's on the back side of dallas[00:02:15]
Where every taxi driver knows her name[00:02:17]
She's on the back side of dallas[00:02:23]
Where every taxi driver knows her name[00:02:25]
