      OMG he's got such an amazing personality as well. I was very lucky to have meant him in October. He was very open about life and music. One of my favorite songwriter/performer!

    Named my son after Dallas Green. My dad named me after his favorite musician SRV and gave me the first name Austin. I think it's awesome I'm named after my dads favorite my son isn't named after my favorite and we're Austin and Dallas and his beautiful mother is named Montana. I know we're a road map.

    This song was written partially about my would've been aunt Collete Wilson living in the small town of Alvin Texas just found out about the song... made me cry anyways I'm happy this has been raised to awareness I've always talked about it with my dad and with the family which was all hard for them this helped shine some light on a series of crimes that needed to be seen

    Not only does this tell a story of a horrific tragedy, once again Dallas blows me away. If you buy this song on iTunes 100% is donated to the ywca in Canada. You're a great man Dallas! Im glad you saved this for this anniversary.

    At his last Montréal show, he told us that he wrote this song after he watched a movie about a true story in Texas where girls were abducted and killed on a highway..He did some researched and wrote a song about it. So yeah, it sounds kinda different than what we are used to, but it's for a great cause.

    For the record... I love this “band” and this song is beautiful... HOWEVER, I live in this part of Texas, and there is no desert for hundreds of miles. that’s West Texas. Bayou, yes; desert, no. But it sounds great in the song regardless

    Have written down the lyrics, here it is. My mother tongue isn't English, so it might be some mistakes. I have marked some words whith asterisk (*) that I can barely hear and have some troubles identifying them. Hope somebody will help with that.
    Down in nowhere, Texas
    Along the highway 45'
    there is ghostly streach of road
    where it's hard to stay alive
    South, towards Galveston
    young girl stay disappear
    where the desert sands
    turns into the wastland
    air is thick with the scent of fear
    Hunting in the killing fields
    small town country boys
    do their worst
    no one knows how far it goes
    it seems that the bayou has become a world of hurt
    Collete's* body was discovered
    in November of 1971
    Then one after another
    victims were found beneath the desert sun
    Still no convictions
    handed down for these violent crimes
    will this highway's history
    remain a mystery
    or will the truth unravel over time?
    Hunting in the killing fields
    small town country boys
    do their worst
    no one knows how far it goes
    it seems that the bayou has become a world of hurt
    And the devil was there
    And the devil was there
    And the devil was there
    And the devil was there

      That's part of what makes it so good to me - it's so hard to figure out how to play, nevermind sing on top of it. Take Care is like this as well. Dallas is the goat.
