rock and roll in dallas, texas
has got a different kind of beat
trucks are thumping down the highway
debutantes are out to eat (they're on the street)

i was out driving just yesterday
in the downtown dallas streets
don't you love it on the plains babe?
the concrete streets mark the way

that the cattle made their ways
up to the north end of the state
the yankees maybe play
but the rangers play it straight
i've got a biscuit with my egg
and white gravy on my plate
we've got rock and roll to play
and rock the southern states

the sidekicks are kicking it at reunion
the mavericks are shooting up some hoops
i think i just lost my car keys
i'll be taking DART home to-night

we're turning up the amps
and we're dropping down the nuts
grant's screaming on the (slide) guitar
and the garage door is up

rock and roll in the suburbs
where the old ladies tend to dance
pulling poodles down the sidewalk
and they're having trouble with their pants

when they hear us play the rock and roll
and the garage door is up
hear us rock the suburbs 
when the garage door is up
you can hear us on the highway
when the garage door is up
you can hear us in houston
when the garage door is up
we're barely audible in el paso
when the garage door is up
etc, etc...
