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 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 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 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 he said i ll make your dreams come true in texas and he s in dallas without us tonight
