A CUP OF COFFEE WITH
THE FIRST SUNLIGHT
AT A LAST CHANCE
TEXACO
I'M THUMBIN' THROUGH
A WORN-OUT ROAD MAP
TRYIN' 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
WONDERIN' WHY AND
WHERE SHE'S GONE
THAT'S HOW A COWGIRL
BREAKS A YOUNG
MAN'S 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
THAT'S HOW A COWGIRL
SAYS GOODBYE
CALLED UP HER MAMA
DOWN IN ABILENE
JUST TO FIND OUT
HOW SHE'D BEEN
SHE SAID SHE'D
STOPPED A WHILE
IN SAN ANTONE
TO SPEND SOME TIME
WITH AN OLD FRIEND
WITH ALL THIS DISTANCE
IN BETWEEN US
I'M SURE I NEVER
CROSS HER MIND
AND IT MAY TAKE ALL
THESE ROADS AHEAD
JUST TO LEAVE IT
ALL BEHIND
THAT'S HOW A COWGIRL
BREAKS A YOUNG
MAN'S 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
THAT'S HOW A COWGIRL
SAYS GOODBYE
THAT'S HOW A COWGIRL
BREAKS A YOUNG
MAN'S 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
I GUESS
THAT'S HOW A COWGIRL
SAYS GOODBYE
