Cities of song

It's comforting to live in a city that has songs written about it. Here are some of the facts about Dallas, according to Jimmie Dale Gilmore:

Dallas is a jewel.
Dallas is a beautiful sight.
Dallas is a jungle.
Dallas gives a beautiful light.
Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you're down.
When you are up, [Dallas is] the kind [of woman] you want to take around.
Dallas ain't a woman to help you get your feet on the ground.
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eye.
[Dallas is] a steel and concrete soul with a warm-hearted love disguise.
[Dallas is] a rich man who tends to believe in his own lies.


It's hard to say whether any of this is true yet, but I will report back in a year or so.
