Alone in a booth, in the Pioneer Cafe
I'm strung out from the road, a pillow in my hands
I sip the last straw from a cold cup of coffee
And try to sort out my feelings as good as I can
Two hours behind me there's a boy back in Dallas
My phone will be ringing his afternoon call
But he'll get no answer, the queens left her palace
She's alone in a cafe in Witchita Falls
.
Back out on the highway towards Oklahoma
I'm driving and crying and hating it all
This old Chevrolet is raising the sunset
And taking me further from Witchita Falls
.
I don't know where I'm going I have no direction
And all I can say is I've made up my mind
I just want to travel a long way from heartache
Wherever it takes me I'll leave it behind
I guess that he thought i would stay there forever
Living my life with my back to the wall
Well maybe the waitress will send him that letter
I left on the table in Witchita Falls
I'm going somewhere other than Texas
A long way from Dallas in Witchita Falls
.
I'm taking the highway yeah I'm going somewhere
