Big talk and empty plans, that's all that he left me when he ran somewhere out west
Called the operator can you help me find him, no phone number, only got a fake name, no home address
Never made it to Texas, didn't even make it to that town on the borderline
And all that time you've spent here wasted
Drinking till you drown, you're working hard for your next dime
Told him we could run away, forget our fights of yesterday and go, but he said no
Prairie loving man that lives on, in my mind he's out of luck, cause I'm out of time
Never made it to Texas, didn't even make it to that town on the borderline
And all that time you've spent here wasted
Drinking till you drown, you're working hard for your next dime
Spend my whole life waiting, for him to come around
Oh, I've been so patient since you left town, since you left town
Never made it to Texas, didn't even make it to that town on the borderline
And all that time you've spent here wasted
Drinking till you drown, you're working hard for your next dime
One foot on the ground, praying for the sun to rise
