She don't see no way around it
He shows every sign of leavin' her
behind
After three days stayin' out late
It don't look like he'll be
comin' home tonight
She wants to cry but pride won't let her
She'll find
better things to do
Leaves her key inside the mailbox
With a note that
tells that cowboy where to go
It's a two day drive to Denver
With a U-Haul
if she doesn't take it slow
She wants to cry but pride won't let
her
She'll find better things to do
Don't let Dallas see you
cryin'
She reminds herself as she rolls out of town
When she hits that
Texas border she sets pride aside
And lets her tears come down
Then she
cries all the way to Colorado
'Cause it hurts like the devil to be
free
Cuts her hair and finds a new job
And her friends all tell her
girl you're doin' fine
Still the nights get cold and lonely
When that wild
west Texas cowboy haunts her mind
She wants to cry but pride won't let
her
She'll find better things to do
Don't let Dallas see you
cryin'
She reminds herself as she rolls out of town
When she hits that
Texas border she sets pride aside
And lets her tears come down
Then she
cries all the way to Colorado
'Cause it hurts like the devil to be free
