A cup of coffee with the first sunlight At a last chance Texaco I'm thumbin' through a worn out road map Tryin' to decide which way to go These empty miles and her memory They just seem to linger on She left me on this lost highway Wonderin' why and where she's gone That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart That's how my whole world slowly came apart With a cold and empty stare As if I wasn't there She didn't even stop to cry That's how a cowgirl says goodbye ♪ Called up her mama in Abilene Just to find out how she'd been She said she'd stopped awhile in San Antone To spend some time with an old friend With all this distance in between us I'm sure I never cross her mind And it may take all these roads ahead Just to leave it all behind That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart That's how my whole world slowly came apart With a cold and empty stare As if I wasn't there Didn't even stop to cry That's how a cowgirl says goodbye That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart That's how my whole world slowly came apart With a cold and empty stare As if I wasn't there She didn't even stop to cry I guess that's how a cowgirl says goodbye
