[Verse 1: Dallas female MC, loud Dallas delivery] Four years under Grant on the ninth floor off the tollway Every plan I ever wrote, he took it in and called it his way Wrote me up for bein' late on the day the elevator stalled Made me redo all his slides and then he took the credit for it all Kept the window office freezin', kept the good parking space Told me I should smile more, so I smiled right in his face Then a call from Anchorage came through on a Tuesday afternoon Lady said, Grant listed you, can we ask about him soon? And I swear I heard the angels, I put down my lunch and stood Said, ma'am, you called the right girl, and I'm gonna make it good [Hook: Dallas female MC, full force, booming kick] I spoke so high of you they flew you out Gave you every compliment I had in my mouth Best boss in Texas, go and take your crown Three thousand miles, baby, don't you turn around [Verse 2: Dallas female MC, sharp and fast, compliment flip] I said Grant? He's a visionary, sees the work before it's done Mostly 'cause he's watchin' me do it, but I didn't say that one He's a people person, loves to be where all the people are Mostly at the bar on Thursdays, but I left that off the card He's a big-picture thinker, never sweats the little things Like the deadlines or the payroll or whatever Monday brings He's the hardest-workin' man I ever saw take a lunch Lady, if you want him, take him, he's the best one of the bunch She said, wow, that's quite a reference, I said, honey, he's the best Fly him up there for the winter, he deserves a little rest [Hook: Dallas female MC, full force, booming kick] I spoke so high of you they flew you out Gave you every compliment I had in my mouth Best boss in Texas, go and take your crown Three thousand miles, baby, don't you turn around [Verse 3: Dallas female MC, loud Dallas delivery, victory lap] They flew him out on Friday with a parka and a raise Corner office in the snow where it's dark for thirty days Monday mornin' I'm in his chair with my boots up on the ledge Got his parking space by noon and his nameplate in the hedge Every slide I ever made now got my name across the top And the meetings end on time and the coffee's fresh and hot Grant mailed me a Christmas card that said thanks for all the praise I wrote back, I meant it, Grant, and I'd say it twice, any day [Final Hook: Dallas female MC, full force] I spoke so high of you they flew you out Gave you every compliment I had in my mouth Best boss in Texas, go and take your crown Three thousand miles, baby, don't you turn around [End]
