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
