Well I met her waiting tables in a coffee shop
One dark and lonely day
And I never would a thought in a million years
That I could fall this way
It?s funny how fate can fool ya
Just when you?re giving up
She said hello how are ya
Then she filled my cup
And it was goodbye yesterdays heartache
So long to be born to lose
Cause now I?ve found the right way
It?s been a hard luck road to a love long overdue
Now her face was like an angel and her legs were long
And when she looked at me
I knew that somewhere down in my deep blue soul
This was meant to be
I asked her whatcha doin later
She said I?m free at five
I picked up the check to pay her
And she said you better be on time
And it was goodbye yesterdays heartache
So long to be born to lose
Cause now I?ve found the right way
It?s been a hard luck road to a love long overdue
Then right underneath all the Texas stars
She took my pain away
And as I held her close in my trembling arms
I knew my world had changed
Told her that I was a rambler
She said yes I know
But when I looked in those big brown eyes
Well that was all she wrote
And it was goodbye yesterdays heartache
So long to be born to lose
Cause now I?ve found the right way
It?s been a hard luck road to a love long overdue
