G C
He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas"
G Bm7 C
And he captured my Appalachian heart
Am D
I was so naive that I believed him
F D
When he promised we'd never be apart
G C
So we packed and pulled a U-Haul down to Dallas
G Bm7 C ~
A year went by and the baby came along
Am D
Then his old friends and his night life came between us
Am D
Dreams turned into sleepless nights waiting all alone
G D C
And I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
D G C D
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
Em D C
We're on a Greyhound bound for West Virginia
Am C G C G C
He's in Dallas without us tonight 
G C
Oh lord, I hate to break the news to mama
G Bm7 C ~
She's getting on in years and worries so
Am D
Maybe I should have stayed in Dallas
Am D
Gave him another chance, right now I just don't know
G D C
I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
D G C D
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
Em D C
We're on a Greyhound bound for West Virginia
Am C G C G
And he's in Dallas without us tonight
C
He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas"

And he's in Dallas without us tonight
