I lived in no holy house but the Grand Hotel The backstreets of this old town I know so well And I drunk of no holy wine save muscatel Now my friend, I've got to go You tell everyone I know I'm sayin' goodbye, bye, bye, Dallas I can't stay Should have been at the palace Yesterday Bye, bye, Dallas; got to go And I remember when they told me so Right now, I'm wonderin' where The good times have gone All the things I never loved when they was mine Hot city and an empty pocket make a man think on I've been living low so long Gotta get back where I belong I'm sayin' goodbye, bye, bye, Dallas I can't stay Should have been at the palace Yesterday Bye, bye, Dallas; got to go And I remember when they told me so Bye, bye, Dallas I can't stay Should have been at the palace Yesterday Hey no farther; it's understood Livin' undercover don't do no good Bye, bye, Dallas
