She's waitin' on a train
An' her mind is ridin' restless
Got a long trail of pain
To lay down on this rail through Texas
Oh, but some sweet night
She'll ride it right to the other side
She could go east and let her tears dry in the morning sun
She could go south and burn her mem'ries one by one
She could go west, where they never fence you in
She could go north, let 'em blow in the wind
Anywhere at all that's a far cry from him
She doesn't wanna see
Another truck that dusty colour
An' she don't wanna hear
His cold laughter 'round the corner
She's gotta leave it all
'Cos this big old town is way too small
She could go east and let her tears dry in the morning sun
She could go south and burn her mem'ries one by one
She could go west, where they never fence you in
She could go north, let 'em blow in the wind
Anywhere at all that's a far cry from him
Anywhere she won't hear his name again
Anywhere his trail's never been
She could go east and let her tears dry in the morning sun
She could go south and burn her mem'ries one by one
She could go west, where they never fence you in
She could go north, let 'em blow in the wind
Anywhere at all that's a far cry from him
(That's a far cry, that's a far cry.)
That's a far cry from him
(That's a far cry, that's a far cry.)
That's a far cry from him
