How A Cowgirl Says Goodbye Lyrics - Lawrence Tracy

(Larry Boone/Paul Nelson/Tracy Lawrence) 

A cup of coffee with the first sunlight 

At a last chance Texaco 

I'm thumbin' through a worn out road map 

Tryin' to decide which way to go 

These empty miles and her memory 

They just seem to linger on 

She left me on this lost highway 

Wonderin' why and where she's 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 mama in Abilene 

Just to find out how she'd been 

She said she'd stopped awhile in San Antone 

To spend 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 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 

Didn't even stop to cry 

That's how a cowgirl says goodbye 

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 

I guess that's how a cowgirl says goodbye
