And I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
We're on a Greyhound bus bound for West Virginia
I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
She's getting on in years and worries so
When he promised we'd never be apart
We're on a Greyhound bus bound for West Virginia
So we packed and pulled a U-Haul down to Dallas
Then his old friends and the night life came between us
A year went by and the baby came along
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
And gave him another chance right now I just don't know
He's in Dallas without us tonight
Dreams turned into sleepless nights waiting all alone
I was so naive that I believed him
He said, “I'll make your dreams come true in Texas”
He's in Dallas without us tonight
Oh, Lord I hate to break the news to mama
Maybe I should have stayed in Dallas
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
