Nightmare Lyrics

Pat Green Nightmare

Last night I had me a nightmare
Dreamed that Texas was burning down burning down
And all them people, I had grown up to love
Leaving town

I cried "oh Holy Moses, bring blood to the Red Red Sea
Bring back Townes Van Zandt, and my heroes back to me
Because I can play their songs, but it ain't they way they do
It ain't they way they do."
I had a nightmare, a nightmare, it was a nightmare

Buddy Holly was riding on the wind
Stevie Ray, well he was too
When their star, come tumbling to the ground
Wasn't a thing that all the king's horses
And all the king's men could do
Me I've just got my ol' bar stool

And man it's burning me down burning me down
Just like a brush fire, that burns on through the night
One of these days I'm just going
These days I'm going to burn on out
