Big D

Waylon Jennings · Six Strings Away [Bear Family] [1999]

(Jerry Crutchfield)



Stranded here in Dallas cold and hungry

I ain't got a dime

Sleepin' in the filty trainyard

At the warmest driest place that I can find.



What have I done that would justify

the way you treatin' me Big D

Stranded here in Dallas cold and hungry

I don't know a soul.



I could feel a little warmer

But I find that there's no coat in my wardrobe

My clothes're paper thin still you

Let your chill of winter fall on me Big D.



--- Instrumental ---



Why I wanna go where the winds don't blow till summer

Somewhere the sun will warm this chill in me

Stranded here in Dallas cold and hungry

I don't even know my name.



Oh, my temperature keeps risin'

And I feel that it's done damage to my brain

Could this dirty trainyard be

The last and final restin' place for me, Big D, Big D...
