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 the king's horses, and all the king's men could do
Me, I just got this 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
