Nightmare

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.
