How a Cowgirl Says Goodbye - Tracy Lawrence

A cup of coffee with the first sunlight at a last chance Texaco

I’m thumbin' through a worn out roadmap tryin' to decide which way to go

These empty miles that are memory they just seem to linger on

She left me on this lost highway wondering why and where she’d 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 mom down in Abilene just to find out how she fared

She said she’d stopped a while in San Antone spent 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…

That’s how a cowgirl breaks…
