(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
