She Came from Fort Worth |
She came from Fort Worth, Fort Worth couldn’t hold her |
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky |
She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder |
And it won’t take long to say goodbye |
She was workin' at a diner just a week ago |
When a man from Colorado smiled and said, «hello» |
And he turned her head with stories about a cabin in the trees |
Where the wind can sing you love songs |
Beneath snow-capped mountain peaks |
Now she’s packed her faded jeans and her favorite cowboy boots |
Left her apron at the diner for someone else to use |
One last look in the mirror at the girl she used to be |
Then the driver takes her ticket and she tries to fall asleep |
She came from Fort Worth, Fort Worth couldn’t hold her |
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky |
She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder |
And it won’t take long to say goodbye |
And somewhere in the long, dark night, the snow began to fall |
Oh, the world outside was sparkling white when she heard the driver call |
«Everyone off now for Boulder and have a real nice day» |
He was waitin' on the platform and he raised his hand to wave |
And she offered no resistance as he took her to his cabin |
And that diner in the distance seemed just like it never happened |
She came from Fort Worth, Fort Worth couldn’t hold her |
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky |
She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder |
And it won’t take long to say goodbye |
She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder |
And it won’t take long to say goodbye, bye bye |
