How a Cowgirl Says Goodbye

A cup of coffee with the first sunlight

At a last chance texaco

I'm thumbing through a worn out road map

Trying to decide which way to go

These empty miles and her memory

They just seem to linger on

She left me on this lost highway

Wondering why and where she's gone

(chorus)

Thats how a cowgirl breaks a young mans heart

That's how my whole world slowly came apart

With a cold and empty stare

As if i wasn't there

She didn't even stop to cry

Thats how a cowgirl says goodbye

Called up her mam in abilene

Just to find out how she'd been

She said she'd stopped awhile in san antone

To spend some time with an old friend

With all the distance in between us

I'm sure i never cross her mind

It may take all these roads ahead

Just to leave it all behind

( repeat chorus)
