(donny kees, richard ross, johnny macrae)



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 the night life came between us

Dreams turned into sleepless nights waiting all alone



Chorus:

I'm staring out the window through these teardrops

Holding on to the only dream that turned out right

We're on a greyhound bus 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



Repeat chorus



He said i'll make your dreams come true in texas

He's in dallas without us tonight
