Lyrics

Last night I had me a nightmare I dreamed that Texas was burnin' down, burnin' down And all them people I'd grown up to love Were leavin' town So I cried "Oh Moses, bring a flood from the Red Red Sea Bring back Towns Van Zandt and my heroes back to me 'Cause I can play their songs but it ain't the way they do It ain't the way they do." I had a nightmare, a nightmare, it was a nightmare Now Buddy Holly was ridin' on the wind Stevie Ray well he was too And when their star came tumblin' to the ground Wasn't a thing all the king's horses and all the king's men could do Me I just got my old barstool Man it's burnin' me down, it's burnin' me down Just like a brushfire that burns on through the night One of these days how it's goin' One of these days I'm gonna' burn on out So I cried "Oh Moses, bring a flood from the Red Red Sea Bring back Towns Van Zandt and my heroes back to me 'Cause I can play their songs but it ain't the way they do It ain't the way they do." I had a nightmare, a nightmare, it was a nightmare I had a nightmare, a nightmare
