  ## Content
  
  The song's title and subject refer to the television series Dallas, with Williams denying that he and his family live a life comparable to those on popular prime-time serials of the era, including Dallas and Dynasty. Williams name-checks a number of popular characters from both shows, including J. R. Ewing and Sue Ellen Ewing from Dallas and Alexis Carrington from Dynasty, among many others, noting that the female characters are attractive but unrealistic. In the end, Williams turns off the television set.
