Dirt In Dallas

(专辑： Boy Like Me - 2022)

I filled her tank up
She cried like hell loading that last bag
It smeared her makeup
I said let me know when you see the Lone Star flag
But she called me west of Memphis
Blown away by the Mississippi
Said if you load your truck up and leave right now
Boy, you won't have to miss me

Well, that grass might be greener
And my truck might stay cleaner
And she knows how much I need her
But I'll never make her choose
Between me and her dreaming
And she's dead set on leaving
I guess I gotta figure out how to live a life without us
Cause a small-town boy like me can't plant no roots
Cause there ain't no dirt in Dallas

I hope it don't change her
Living up in that downtown high rise
But I can't blame her
She wanted more than a water tower skyline
But I need dust on my boots, mud on my tires
Need to see every star in the midnight hour
And eight lane traffic on concrete
Just don't do it for me

That grass might be greener
And my truck might stay cleaner
She knows how much I need her
But I'll never make her choose
Between me and her dreaming
And she's dead set on leaving
I guess I gotta figure out how to live a life without us
Cause a small-town boy like me can't plant no roots
Cause there ain't no dirt in Dallas

Like there is round here
On this hometown ground
I'm just drinking this beer and I'm kicking it now
Ain't no dirt in Dallas

That grass might be greener
And my truck might stay cleaner
And she knows how much I need her
But I'll never make her choose
Between me and her dreaming
And she's dead set on leaving
I guess I gotta figure out how to live a life without us
Cause a small-town boy like me can't plant no roots
Cause there ain't no dirt in Dallas
Nah, there ain't no dirt in Dallas
