If you ever get the chance to go to Dallas
 Take it from me pass it by
 'Cause you'll only sing the blues down in Dallas
 Take it from me don't go and cry

 Chorus:
 And I'm leavin' this town as soon as I can
 Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

 People do you wrong down in Dallas
 I know well they've done it to me
 Stealin' all your bread  they're so callous
 I know well just look and see

 Chorus:
 Oh  and I'm leavin' this town as soon as I can
 Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

 And people like me just can't be free
 The promo man won't let us be-ee
 If the people who knew could get away
 I'm real sure they'd leave today

 (instrumental)

 Yeah, now come on down and lose your mental balance
 Look at me half crazy now
 Oh, talkin' to chairs is strange and I know it
 Look at me I'm doin' it know

 Chorus:
 Yeah, and I'm leavin' this town as soon as I can
 Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

 Yeah, leavin' this town as soon as I can
 Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman

 Whoa, leavin' this town as soon as I can
 Gonna stop off for awhile and see my woman
