    Verse 1
    Let 
    him 
    roll, 
    Lord, 
    let 
    him 
    roar 

    He 
    always 
    said 
    that 
    heaven 

    was 
    just 
    a Dallas 
    whore 


    Verse 2
    He 
    was 
    wino tried 
    and 
    true 

    Done 
    about 
    everything 
    there 
    is 
    to 
    do 

    He 
    worked 
    on 
    freighters, 

    and he 
    worked 
    in 
    bars 

    He 
    worked 
    on 
    farms, 
    and 
    he 
    worked 
    on 
    cars 

    Verse 3
    It 
    was 
    white 
    Port 
    put 
    that 
    look 
    in 
    his 
    eye 

    That 
    grown 
    men 
    get 
    when 
    they 
    need 
    to cry 

    We 
    sat 
    down 
    on 
    the curb 
    to rest 

    And 
    his 
    head 
    just 
    fell 
    down 
    on 
    his 
    chest 

    Verse 4
    He 
    said, 
    "Every 
    single 
    day 
    it 
    gets" 

    Just 
    a little 
    bit 
    harder 
    to 
    handle 
    and 
    yet 

    And 
    he lost 
    the thread, 

    and 
    his mind 
    got 
    cluttered 

    And 
    the words 
    just 
    rolled 

    off 
    down 
    in the gutter 

    Verse 5
    He 
    was 
    elevator 
    man 
    in 
    a cheap 
    hotel 

    In 
    ex
    change 
    for 
    the rent 

    on a one 
    room 
    cell 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    old 
    in 
    years, 
    beyond 
    his 
    time 

    Oh, 
    thanks 
    to 
    the world 
    and 

    the 
    white 
    Port 
    wine 

    Verse 6
    So 
    he 
    says, 
    "Son" 

    He 
    always 
    called 
    me son 

    He 
    said, 
    "Life 
    for 
    you 
    has 
    just 
    begun" 

    Then 
    he told 
    me 
    the story 

    I'd 
    heard 
    before 

    How 
    he 
    fell 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    a Dallas 
    whore 

    Verse 7
    He 
    could 
    cut 
    through 
    the years 

    to 
    the 
    very 
    night 

    That 
    it 
    all 
    ended 
    in 
    a whore 
    house 
    fight 

    And 
    she 
    turned 
    his 
    last 
    proposal 
    down 

    In 
    favor 
    of 
    being 
    girl 
    about 
    town 

    Verse 8
    Now 
    it's 
    been 
    seventeen 

    years 
    right 
    in 
    line 

    And 
    he 
    ain't 
    been 
    straight 

    none 
    of 
    the time 

    It's 
    too 
    many 
    years 
    of 

    fightin' 
    the 
    weather 

    And 
    too 
    many 
    nights 
    of 
    not 
    being 
    together 

    Interlude 1

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
