There's a brand new gold Palomino colt Knee-high in the Colorado gra** And a note by the bed He reads it again 'Cause it all happened way too fast Now he's drivin' around Lookin' all over town For her '66 hardtop Mustang But her cell phone keeps ringin' Like the dreams he's been dreamin' And it looks like it just might rain And she's drivin' like lightnin' down I-25 She's tired of fightin' and she's gettin' restless She's leavin' him sleepin' while she's still alive And by sundown she'll be back in Texas He called from the road From the last rodeo And said you don't make it easy on me To listen to you cry And try to answer why I'm the way I just have to be So she hung up the phone And packed all her things In the back of that '66 Ford When he came home that night She turned out the light And said it won't be goodnight anymore 'Cause she's drivin' like lightnin' down I-25 She's tired of fightin' and she's gettin' restless So she's leavin' him sleepin' while she's still alive And by sundown she'll be back in Texas He didn't really think She meant what she said As he drifted off to sleep Now the sun's gone around On that front range town It's startin' to settle in He reads it again In the note by the bed She won't ever be back again 'Cause she's drivin' like lightnin' down I-25 She's tired of fightin' and she's way past restless She's leavin' me sleepin' while she's still alive
