Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
In the heart of Texas, where the oil wells gleam,
The Ewing clan would gather, living out their dream.
This Christmas was no different, with presents stacked so high,
But the cost of all their luxury would soon reach to the sky.
[Chorus]
Oh, Dallas, oh, Dallas, with gifts so grand and bold,
Each one more extravagant, more than stories ever told.
But in the quest for opulence, the price was far too steep,
Oh, Dallas, oh, Dallas, now the family’s left to weep.
[Intermezzo]
[Verse 2]
J.R. bought a skyscraper, reaching for the stars,
Sue Ellen got a diamond that outshone fancy cars.
Bobby gifted horses, rare and purebred stock,
And Lucy’s grand piano was the talk around the block.
[Chorus]
Oh, Dallas, oh, Dallas, with gifts so grand and bold,
Each one more extravagant, more than stories ever told.
But in the quest for opulence, the price was far too steep,
Oh, Dallas, oh, Dallas, now the family’s left to weep.
[Pause]
[Bridge]
The company was drowning, in a sea of endless debt,
The lavish gifts were mounting, with no safety net.
Ewing Oil was sinking, under the weight of gold,
A legacy of riches, now a story to be told.
[Break]
[Verse 3]
Miss Ellie watched in sorrow, as the empire crumbled down,
The lavish life they treasured, now a shadow of the town.
The lesson learned too late, in the glitter and the sheen,
That sometimes simpler gifts are what Christmas really means.
[Chorus]
Oh, Dallas, oh, Dallas, with gifts so grand and bold,
Each one more extravagant, more than stories ever told.
But in the quest for opulence, the price was far too steep,
Oh, Dallas, oh, Dallas, now the family’s left to weep.
[Break]
[Outro]
So remember this old story, when you think of Dallas’ fame,
That love and simple kindness, are worth more than wealth and name.
For dreams of endless spending, can lead to broken lands,
Oh, Dallas, oh, Dallas, now do you understand?
