He said I'll make your dreams come true in Texas
And he captured my Minnesota heart
I was so naïve that I believed him
When he promised we'd never be apart
So we packed and pulled a U-Haul down to Dallas
A year went by and the baby came along
Then his old friends and the night life came between us
Dreams turned into sleepless nights
Waiting all alone
(Chorus)
I'm staring out the window through these teardrops
Holding onto the only dream
That turned out right
We're on a grey hound bound for Minnesota
And he's in Dallas without us
Tonight
Oh how I hate to break the news to mama
She's getting on in years and worries so
Maybe I should've stayed in Dallas
And gave him another chance
Right now I just don't know
(Repeat Chorus)
He said I'll make your dreams come true in Texas
But he's in Dallas without us
Tonight
