A cup of coffee with the first sunlight At a last chance texaco I'm thumbing through a worn out road map Trying to decide which way to go These empty miles and her memory They just seem to linger on She left me on this lost highway Wondering why and where she's gone (chorus) Thats how a cowgirl breaks a young mans heart That's how my whole world slowly came apart With a cold and empty stare As if i wasn't there She didn't even stop to cry Thats how a cowgirl says goodbye Called up her mam in abilene Just to find out how she'd been She said she'd stopped awhile in san antone To spend some time with an old friend With all the distance in between us I'm sure i never cross her mind It may take all these roads ahead Just to leave it all behind ( repeat chorus) ( repeat chorus)
