Dirt in Dallas

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
