She Came From Fort Worth

In the style of

Kathy Mattea

Lyrics

she came from
fort worth
but 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 snowcapped
mountain peaks

now she's packed
her faded blue 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
but 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 sparklin' 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
but 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
