(johnny macrae/richard ross/danny kees)

He said, Ill make your dreams come true in texax
And he captured my appalachian heart
I was so naive that I believed him
When he promised wed 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 of waiting all alone

Im staring out the window through these teardrops
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
Were on a greyhound bound for west virginia
Hes in dallas without us tonight

Oh lord I hate to break the news to mama
Shes gettin on in years and worries so
Maybe I shouldve stayed in dallas
And given him another chance
Right now I just dont know

Im staring out the window through these teardrops
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
Were on a greyhound bound for west virginia
Hes in dallas without us tonight

He said Ill make your dreams come true in texas
He lives in dallas without us tonight
