Nobody From Dallas is From Dallas Lyrics

Way back when it used to be an oil town

There was a show about it on TV

But the boom went bust sometime in the 80's

Ol' JR got the boot, he's history

Ol' Jobs took over the world with his cell phones

New jobs were popping up just like weeds

Dudes weren't born and raised here in Texas

Silicon stamped their brand, the Cali breed

Well nobody from Dallas is from Dallas

California's taken over the whole damn city

And nobody from Dallas is from Dallas

It's enough to make all the cowboys leave

Richardson looks nothing like it used to

The same is said for Plano and Mesquite

And Highland Park looks more like New York City

Than any Texas town I've ever seen

So I'm sitting here in Fort Worth and I'm thinking

Wish the hippies kept their asses thirty miles east

In the town that once was wildcatters and cowboys

It's a town of artsy tree-huggers and freaks

Well nobody from Dallas is from Dallas

California's taken over the whole damn city

And nobody from Dallas is from Dallas

It's enough to make all the cowboys leave

Was enough to make the Dallas Cowboys leave

It's enough to make even this cowboy leave
