INTRO: G    C    G    C

   G                                    C
He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas"
       G           Bm7   C
And he captured my Appalachian heart
Am                   D
I was so naive that I believed him
        F                     D
When he promised we'd never be apart


      G                              C
So we packed and pulled a U-Haul down to Dallas
  G                    Bm7       C       ~
A year went by and the baby came along
         Am                               D  
Then his old friends and his night life came between us
Am                                  D
Dreams turned into sleepless nights waiting all alone


CHORUS:
        G               D                    C
And I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
D       G                         C          D
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
      Em             D            C
We're on a Greyhound bound for West Virginia
        Am         C     G          C    G    C
He's in Dallas without us tonight


   G                                C
Oh lord, I hate to break the news to mama
      G             Bm7          C         ~
She's getting on in years and worries so
Am                           D 
Maybe I should have stayed in Dallas
Am                             D
Gave him another chance, right now I just don't know


CHORUS:
    G               D                    C
I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
D       G                         C          D
Holding on to the only dream that turned out right
      Em             D            C
We're on a Greyhound bound for West Virginia
            Am         C     G          C  G
And he's in Dallas without us tonight
                                        C
He said, "I'll make your dreams come true in Texas"
    ~       Am         C     G           C   G
And he's in Dallas without us tonight
