Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]On [C]the[G] ba[C]cks[G]ide[C] of[G] Dalla[C]s,[G][C]
in [G]a dingy bar on a [C]worn out stool [G]she sits
[C]And[G] he[C]r trembl[G]ing hand fumbles
[C]for anoth[G]er king -size
[C]builder's cigar[G]ette[C][G]
[C]She [D]blows a puff of smoke,
then settles [C]back
and looks across the light [G]blue [C]haze[G]
[C]An d from the [G]back side of Dal[C]las,
her [G]mind goes drifting [C]back
to other [G]days[C][G][C]
[G]Meet me [C]in Dallas on [G]June the 23rd,
[C]his letter rea[G]d[C][G]
[C]On a gre[G]yhound to this big[C] town,
[G]she came to be with him [C]just like he [G]said[C][G]
[C]Then sudden[D]ly he left her
for reas[C]ons that she still
don't under[G]stand[C][G]
And [C]on the [G]back side of Dal[C]las,
a [G]girl must earn her [C]way
as best [G]she [C]can[G]
[C]It's a lon[G]g way to Dallas[C]
for a [G]small -town girl
from the [C]middle of Tenness[G]ee[C][G]
[C]And [G]a tenth -grade education
[C]won't get[G] you no kind of [C]job
here in [G]Big [C]D[G][C]
Hun[D]ger, pains and pride's
a thing
that just [C]don't go hand -in
-hand [G]for [C]long[G]
[C]An d on the [G]back side of Dal[C]las,
a [G]hungry small town [C]girl can
find [G]a h[C]ome[G]
[C]On the [G]back side of [C]Dallas,
[G]nervously she [C]takes another [G]pill[C][G]
[C]On the [G]back side of [C]Dallas,
tonight [G]like other night[C]s,
she drinks [G]her [C]fill[G]
[C]She [D]pays the man behind the bar
and [C]leaves the change for a
twenty dollar [G]bill[C][G]
[C]If you're [G]ever feeling lone[C]some
and [G]you want to find someone
[C]who feels [G]the [C]same[G]
[C]She's on the [G]back side of Dal[C]las
where [G]every taxi [C]driver knows
[G]her [C]name[G]
[C]She's on the [G]back side of Dal[C]las,
where [G]every taxi [C]driver knows [G]her [C]name.[G]
