I hocked my old guitar today knowing I won't see it again And a man that ain't got a song to sing sure can't find a friend I'm down to my last 20 bucks, tequila in a dixie cup Hold on to it like I hold a chalice, Looking for forgiveness for my sins On the streets of Dallas Lord knows I'd give all I own For one more round of sweet Patron and a woman to keep me warm tonight But all the bars are closing down and there ain't a soul around But a bunch of frat boys looking for a fight So pull my collar up and wonder down these sidewalks Weather cold and calloused Wondering how I'll ever find my way On the streets of Dallas At a bus stop in Bench up on elm I sit and watch Two strangers getting high As the heavens open up and hell breaks loose above this concrete sky I passed a wino down on Main who's found some shelter From the rain in his cardboard palace It's funny how your dreams get washed away On the streets of Dallas Lord knows I'd give all I own For one more round of sweet Patron and a woman to keep me warm tonight But all the bars are closing down and there ain't a soul around But a bunch of frat boys looking for a fight So pull my collar up, wonder down these Sidewalks weather cold and calloused Wondering how I'll ever find my way On the streets of Dallas Yeah I bet there ain't a prayer that ain't been prayed On the streets of Dallas
