Nightmare

Last night I had me a nightmare

Dreamed that Texas was burning down burning down

And all them people, I had grown up to love

Leaving town

I cried "oh Holy Moses, bring blood to the Red Red Sea

Bring back Townes Van Zandt, and my heroes back to me

Because I can play their songs, but it ain't they way they do

It ain't they way they do."

I had a nightmare, a nightmare, it was a nightmare

Buddy Holly was riding on the wind

Stevie Ray, well he was too

When their star, come tumbling to the ground

Wasn't a thing that all the king's horses

And all the king's men could do

Me I've just got my ol' bar stool

And man it's burning me down burning me down

Just like a brush fire, that burns on through the night

One of these days I'm just going

These days I'm going to burn on out
