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 THE 

SNOW CAPPED 
MOUNTAIN PEAKS 
NOW SHE'S PACKED HER 
FADED BLUE JEANS 

AND HER FAVORITE 
COWBOY BOOTS 
LEFT HER APRON 
IN 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
