A cup of coffee with the first sun light
At a last chance Texaco
I'm thrumbing through a worn out roadmap
Trying to decide which way to go
These empty miles that are memory
They just seem to linger on
She left me on this lost highway
Wondering why and where she'd gone
That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man heart
That's how my whole world slowly came apart
With a cold and empty stare
As if I wasn't even there
(C)
That's how a cowgirl says goodbye
ending: I guess that's how a cowgirl says goodbye
lead
Called up her mom down in abolene
just to find out how she fared
She said she stopped a while in San Antone
spent some time with an old friend
with all this distance in between us
I'm sure I never cross her mind
And it may take all these roads ahead
just to leave it all behind
