02 - Dallas Coulda Been A Beatdown

Dallas, Texas (Three, four)

I see those Dallas city lights
High up on this flight
I know he's down below
Mama said, "Pick and choose your fights"
Brings a tear to my eyes
'Cause this hurt I'ma bring real slow
All this earth that we walk
Has filled with so much talk
And I wonder if he knows
Yes, I'm close
I told myself I'd never stalk him
But now I pass a crossin'
I can see the knife against his throat

In my mind, I'm gonna keep it clean
Lying here, staring at the ceiling
And I could be that voice of reckoning
Does he know, do you think he knows?
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown (Dallas, Texas)

Now my driver's rolling up
But she ain't answering her phone
I put the address up on this lighted match
Yeah, I could orchestrate that slaying
Then numb myself with praying
Wash the blood clean off my hands
But I won't be the instigator
Leave my revenge at the stage door
Make peace with all that's gone down
He's got enough that haunts him
The demons already stalk him
In just a few hours, I am leaving town

In my mind, I'm gonna keep it clean
Lying here, staring at the ceiling
And I could be that voice of reckoning
Does he know, do you think he knows?
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown (Dallas, Texas)

Yes, he's got enough that haunts him
The demons already stalk him
I can see the knife against his throat

'Cause in my mind, I'm gonna keep it clean
Lying here, staring at the ceiling
Yes, I could be that voice of reckoning
Does he know, do you think he knows?
Does he know, do you think he knows?
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown
Dallas could've been a beatdown (Dallas, Texas)
