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 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 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

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
