A cup of coffee with the first sunlight
At a last chance texaco
Im thumbing through a worn out road map
Trying 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
Wondering why and where shes gone
(chorus)
Thats how a cowgirl breaks a young mans heart
Thats how my whole world slowly came apart
With a cold and empty stare
As if I wasnt there
She didnt even stop to cry
Thats how a cowgirl says goodbye
Called up her mam in abilene
Just to find out how shed been
She said shed stopped awhile in san antone
To spend some time with an old friend
With all the distance in between us
Im sure I never cross her mind
It may take all these roads ahead
Just to leave it all behind
( repeat chorus)
( repeat chorus)
