She's waitin' on the train

And her mind is riding restless

She's got a long trail of pain

To lay down on this rail through Texas



Oh, but some sweet night

She'll ride it right to the other side



She could go east and let her tears dry in the morning sun

She could go south and burn off the memories one by one

She could go west where they never fence you in

She could go north and let 'em blow in the wind

Anywhere at all that's a far cry from him



She doesn't want see another truck that dusty color

And she don't want to hear his cold laughter 'round the corner

Oh, she's gotta leave it all

'Coz this big old town is way too small



She could go east and let her tears dry in the morning sun

She could go south and burn off the memories one by one

She could go west where they never fence you in

She could go north and let 'em blow in the wind

Anywhere at all that's a far cry from him



Anywhere she won't hear his name again

Anywhere his trail has never been



She could go east and let her tears dry in the morning sun

She could go south and burn off the memories one by one

She could go west where they never fence you in

She could go north and let 'em blow in the wind

Anywhere at all that's a far cry from him



Anywhere she won't hear his name again



She could go east

(Dry those tears in the morning sun)

She could go south

(Burn those memories one by one)



She could go west

(Where they never fence you in)

She could go north and

(Blow them in wind)

Anywhere at all that's a far cry from him
