(Donny Kees, Richard Ross, Johnny MacRae)

He said I'll make your dreams come true in Texas

And he captured my Appalachian heart

I was so naive 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 on to the only dream that turned out right

We're on a Greyhound bus bound for West Virginia

He's in Dallas without us tonight

Oh, Lord I hate to break the news to mama

She's gettin on in years and worries so

Maybe I should have 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

He's in Dallas without us tonight
