She don't see no way around it It don't look like he'll
be comin' home tonight He shows every sign of leavin'
her behind After three days stayin' out late She wants
to cry but pride won't let her She'll find better
things to do With a note that tells that cowboy where
to go She wants to cry but pride won't let her Leaves
her key inside the mailbox It's a two day drive to
Denver With a U-Haul if she doesn't take it slow 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' When she hits that Texas border she sets pride
aside And lets her tears come down She reminds herself
as she rolls out of town Then she cries all the way
to Colorado 'Cause it hurts like the devil to be free
