I know the stars are bright
Above that little Texas town
I bet I'm nowhere near her mind right now
Oh but I can't say the same
It's been thundering and rain
I'm so full of all this liquor
And I'm drowning in this pain
I'm wonderin'
Why Dallas did you take her from me
Everything was fine out here in Nashville, Tennessee
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering why did you take her from me
If I could see the ocean
I would pour it on my head
Float around this desert
Like a possum playing dead
Maybe I could drift back to her heart
And find the bed
Maybe she'll forget last night
And everything I said
I'm wonderin'
Why Dallas did you take her from me
Everything was fine out on a beach here in Maui
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering why did you take her from me
Come on play somethin'
Oh why Dallas did you take her from me
Everything was perfect out here in Nashville, Tennessee
We went from chasing Amarillo
Now I'm chasing memories
I'm wondering why did you take her
Roll my heart right up and break it
Yeah why did you take her from me
