He's in Dallas

He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas"

And he captured my Appalachian heart

I was so naive that I believed him

When he promised we'd never be apart

So we packed and pulled a U-Haul down to Dallas

A year went by and the baby came along

Then his old friends and his night life came between us

Dreams turned into sleepless nights, waiting all alone

And I'm staring out the window through these teardrops

Holding on to the only dream that turned out right

We're on a Greyhound, bound for West Virginia

And he's in Dallas without us tonight

Oh Lord, I hate to break the news to mama

She's getting on in years and worries so

Maybe I should have stayed in Dallas

And gave him another chance, right now, I just don't know

I'm staring out the window through these teardrops

Holding on to the only dream that turned out right

We're on a Greyhound, bound for West Virginia

And he's in Dallas without us tonight

He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas"

And he's in Dallas without us tonight
