Intro: He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas" And he captured my Appalachian heart I was so naive that I believed him When he promised we'd never be apart So we packed and pulled a U-Haul down to Dallas ~ A year went by and the baby came along Then his old friends and his night life came between us Dreams turned into sleepless nights waiting all alone And I'm staring out the window through these teardrops Holding on to the only dream that turned out right We're on a Greyhound bound for West Virginia He's in Dallas without us tonight Oh lord, I hate to break the news to mama ~ She's getting on in years and worries so Maybe I should have stayed in Dallas Gave him another chance, right now I just don't know I'm staring out the window through these teardrops Holding on to the only dream that turned out right We're on a Greyhound bound for West Virginia And he's in Dallas without us tonight He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas" ~ And he's in Dallas without us tonight
