Don't Need Dallas Anymore

He'll see it in the morning
Dear John letter’s by the bed
The car is packed and full of gas
And my new life’s up ahead
I heard Carolina’s nice
So I'm heading east to clear my mind
I’ll search for seashells on the beach
And forget the pain left behind
(C)
Cause
I don't need Dallas anymore
Don't need anger, don’t need hate
What I need is to be free
To speak my mind and celebrate
So I shed my heartaches by the shore
I don't need Dallas anymore
No, I don't need Dallas anymore
(V2)
He exhausted my emotions
With his never ending lies
Stung me with his hateful words
And laughed when I cried
His hollow soul felt nothing
No compassion, no regret
So it won’t be hard to leave him
But oh so easy to forget
(C)
Cause
I don't need Dallas anymore
Don't need anger, don’t need hate
What I need is to be free
To speak my mind and celebrate
So I shed my heartaches by the shore
I don't need Dallas anymore
No, I don't need Dallas anymore
(B)
Mem'ries of Dallas are fading
That Texas sized pain is gone
Now my joy's as big as the ocean
And North Carolina's my home
(V3)
Waves are crashing on the pier
Reminding me of my new start
I have a house on the ocean
There's finally peace in my heart
Tears replaced with joyful laughs
That only my leaving could solve
I'm thanking myself every day
I had the courage to evolve
(C)
Cause
I don't need Dallas anymore
Don't need anger, don’t need hate
What I need is to be free
To speak my mind and celebrate
So I shed my heartaches by the shore
I don't need Dallas anymore
No, I don't need Dallas anymore
