She don't see no way around it
  He shows every sign of leavin' her behind
  After three days stayin' out late
  It don't look like he'll be comin' home tonight
  She wants to cry but pride won't let her
  She'll find better things to do
  
  Leaves her key inside the mailbox
  With a note that tells that cowboy where to go
  It's a two day drive to Denver
  With a U-Haul if she doesn't take it slow
  She wants to cry but pride won't let her
  She'll find better things to do
  
  Don't let Dallas see you cryin'
  She reminds herself as she rolls out of town
  When she hits that Texas border she sets pride aside
  And lets her tears come down
  Then she cries all the way to Colorado
  'Cause it hurts like the devil to be free
  
  Cuts her hair and finds a new job
  And her friends all tell her girl you're doin' fine
  Still the nights get cold and lonely
  When that wild west Texas cowboy haunts her mind
  She wants to cry but pride won't let her
  She'll find better things to do
  
  Don't let Dallas see you cryin'
  She reminds herself as she rolls out of town
  When she hits that Texas border she sets pride aside
  And lets her tears come down
  Then she cries all the way to Colorado
  'Cause it hurts like the devil to be free
