LYRICS
Verse 1
I rolled into town with my heart wide open
Dreams on my sleeve, every word unspoken
She had a smile like the Fourth of July
And eyes that could burn a hole in the sky
We danced ‘til the streets turned empty and still
She whispered my name like she always will
But the truth came down with the morning haze
And the shine wore off in the cold light of day
Chorus
No saints in Dallas, just shadows in heels
Neon confessions and late-night deals
You can pray for love ‘neath the church house bell
But the city’ll teach you a different spell
No saints in Dallas, just the stories they sell
Verse 2
She swore that her heart had never been taken
But her lies were as smooth as the ground she was shakin’
In the glow of the bars and the hum of the band
I was another fool holding her hand
Every corner had a whisper, a name I knew
Every light felt colder when the truth shone through
I learned quick that love ain’t free
And it sure as hell ain’t what it’s dressed up to be
Chorus
No saints in Dallas, just shadows in heels
Neon confessions and late-night deals
You can pray for love ‘neath the church house bell
But the city’ll teach you a different spell
No saints in Dallas, just the stories they sell
Bridge
Now I’m rollin’ out with my headlights low
Leavin’ behind what I thought I’d know
A little more wise, a little more worn
A heart like mine can’t be reborn
Final Chorus
No saints in Dallas, just shadows in heels
Neon confessions and late-night deals
You can pray for love ‘neath the church house bell
But the city’ll teach you a different spell
No saints in Dallas… and I learned it well
Outro
The skyline fades in my rearview glass
But her shadow’s still ridin’ in the dark with my past
