Dallas was my late night out

E
I've seen the sun blaze the breast of the countryside
A                   E
I've seen her huddled in a winter freeze
And I've run cross paths of a thousand lives
A                          E
Among the cactus and the white birch trees

Avloc ran a waterfront bar

Vito, he was the king of theives
D                    E
And Michael was a rock 'n roll hood from the Odessa plains
F#m7
All of them were my kind
A        G#m       B
Wild and damn near free
A            F#m            B             E    A   E
But, a Woman of the Phoenix is the medicine they ne--------ed.
