I'm gonna get me on an aeroplane
And fly me far from all this rain
I'm a lonely king in an empty palace

Cause I'm loving Sunny in Dallas

Cold sleepless nights can get the best of me

Cold lonesome days will get the rest of me
Once upon a time my heart was callused
Before I met Sunny in Dallas


But Sunny ain't in Dallas anymore
She packed her things and headed far out west

Now she's loving life and living more
Closer to the place her heart can rest


I never had a place to call my own
I never felt that I was quite at home
I should've known from the start

That home was in my heart
When I'm with her I'm home
When I'm with her I'm home


We can't afford to pay our heating bill
If I keep her warm she'll love me still

I look back on the early times when I was
With my dear Sunny in Dallas


But Sunny ain't in Dallas anymore
She packed her things and headed far out west
Now she's loving life and living more

Closer to the place her heart can rest

But Sunny ain't in Dallas anymore

She packed her things and headed far out west
Now she's loving life and living more
Closer to the place her heart can rest

Now she's closer to the place her heart can rest
