Nightmare Lyrics

Last night I had me a nightmare.

Dreamed that Texas was burning down.

And all those people, I'd grown up to love

were leavin' town.

So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the red, Red sea.

Bring back towns van zandt and my heroes back to me.

'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do.

Ain't the way they do.

I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.

Stevie Ray, was riding on the wind.

Buddy Holly, he was too.

But when there star comes tumblin to the ground.

Not a thing the king's horses, and all the king's men could do.

Me, I just got this ol' barstool.

And man it's burning me down. (burnin' me down)

Just like a brushfire, that burns all through the night.

One of these days I'm gonna, one of these days I'm gonna burn on out.

So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the red, Red sea.

Bring back towns van zandt and my heroes back to me.

'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do.

Ain't the way they do.

I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.

I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, oooo-ooh.
