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

He's in Dallas without us tonight



Oh, Lord I hate to break the news to mama

She's gettin 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

He's in Dallas without us tonight



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

He's in Dallas without us tonight
