Down in New Orleans
the water is boilin'
and you know it's gettin' mighty hot
People are lookin' tryin' to
get a bookin'
Somethin' that they ain't got
if they could get it in Dallas
Hometown, hometown of those who care
The people look good,
the people look kind,
the people in Dallas got head
New York City is a town without pity
and it's known for its lack of love
Ain't no use a -callin' for help
when you're ballin'
Man, they'll only give you a shove,
I'm gonna go back to Dallas
Hometown, hometown of those who care
The people look good,
the people look kind
The people in Dallas got hair
I've heard people warn you,
you're losing California
I'm beginning to believe
that they're right
People gettin' to you, lawyers tryin' to
And the whole place is uptight,
I'm gonna go back to Dallas
Hometown,
hometown of those who care
People look good, people look kind,
people in Dallas got that
Went up to Chicago, faced an embargo,
got beat up and tossed all around
You know they tried to warn me
about the people's army
Man, I had to leave that town,
gonna get on back to Dallas
Hometown,
hometown of those who care
People are good, people are kind
People in Dallas got hair
You
