[Verse 1]
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 his night life came between us
Dreams turned into sleepless nights waiting all alone

[Chorus]
And I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
We're on a Greyhound bound for West Virginia
And he's in Dallas without us tonight

[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, I hate to break the news to mama
She's getting 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

[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 bound for West Virginia
And he's in Dallas without us tonight
[Outro]
He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas"
And he's in Dallas without us tonight
