He said I'll make your dreams come true in Texas And he captured my Minnesota heart I was so naïve 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 onto the only dream That turned out right We're on a grey hound bound for Minnesota And he's in Dallas without us Tonight Oh how I hate to break the news to mama She's getting on in years and worries so Maybe I should've 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 But he's in Dallas without us Tonight
