A cup of coffee
with the first sunlight
at a last chance Texaco
I'm thumbin through
a worn out roadmap
tryin to decide
which way to go
These empty miles
that are memory
they just seem
to linger on
She left me on this
lost highway
wondering 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 Mom
down in Abilene
just to find out
how she fared
She said she'd
stopped a while in
San Antone spent
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
