(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
