Lyrics

Last night I had me a nightmare Dreamed that Texas was burning down And all those people, I'd grown up to love Were leavin' town So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the Red, Red sea Bring back Towns Van Zandt and my heroes back to me 'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do Ain't the way they do I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare Buddy Holly, was riding on the wind Stevie Ray, he was too But when there star comes tumblin' to the ground Not a thing all the king's horses, and all the king's men could do Me, I just got my ol' barstool And man it's burning me down. (burnin' me down) Just like a brushfire, that burns all through the night One of these days I'm gonna, one of these days I'm gonna burn on out So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the Red, Red sea Bring back Towns Van Zandt and my heroes back to me 'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do Ain't the way they do I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, oooo-ooh
