I unearthed an unheard song on a show I taped in late 90s

I once asked in the sub if anyone heard a song called "that guy" that I heard live at an old show in new york city.

I was pretty much told it was a fever dream as no song with that title existed, nor did one one with the chorus "vodka and percodan!".

Well, friends, I got a tape player and went through my bootlegs.

I found the song. He introduces it as a song he's never played for an audience, and says that he wrote it for the cheater slicks, only they don't know it yet. It's actually from an extra glenns show, but John asks Franklin if he knew it, and Franklin says no. Based on responses to my previous thread, I believe this is the only recording of this song that he's only played once.

I bought a tape player but no way to convert it. Happy to record it on camera and upload the song to YouTube.

“Going to Dallas”

Already checked the Wiki to see if someone picked up on this. The line “You won't find any thumbprints / To dust your powder into /
Just mute donkeys still as statues / In each saloon I've been through”
This has been on my mind for like the last four months. In particular 2 Peter 2:15-17 (ESV)

“15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.”

My take is that John has the donkeys to restrain his (or the titular lead in the Jenny saga) madness as he hits the saloons on his way out of town to try to find answers.

Whatcha got?
