Intro
Verse 1
I was born in a bass drum
Brought up by a guitar
My mama kept a house of hags
And my daddy dressed in drag
Chorus
A hot nite in Dallas
Feel the southern wind
A hot nite in Dallas
And the sheets stickin' to my skin
Verse 2
Bodies laid in the gutter
Dark roll the moon
It shines through her gown
As the woman's taking me down
Repeat chorus
Instrumental
Verse 3
Lay me in a pine box
In a dark desolate place
On a moonlit night
Nail a board above my face
Repeat chorus
Instrumental
