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 a hot nite in dallas feel the southern wind a hot nite in dallas and the sheets stickin to my skin bodies laid in the gutter dark roll the moon it shines through her gown as the woman s taking me down a hot nite in dallas feel the southern wind a hot nite in dallas and the sheets stickin to my skin lay me in a pine box in a dark desolate place on a moonlit night nail a board above my face a hot nite in dallas feel the southern wind a hot nite in dallas and the sheets stickin to my skin
