She Came from Fort Worth - Kathy Mattea

She came from Fort Worth, Fort Worth couldn’t hold her

Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky

She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

And it won’t take long to say goodbye

She was workin' at a diner just a week ago

When a man from Colorado smiled and said, «hello»

And he turned her head with stories about a cabin in the trees

Where the wind can sing you love songs

Beneath snow-capped mountain peaks

Now she’s packed her faded jeans and her favorite cowboy boots

Left her apron at the diner for someone else to use

One last look in the mirror at the girl she used to be

Then the driver takes her ticket and she tries to fall asleep

She came from Fort Worth, Fort Worth couldn’t hold her

Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky

She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

And it won’t take long to say goodbye

And somewhere in the long, dark night, the snow began to fall

Oh, the world outside was sparkling white when she heard the driver call

«Everyone off now for Boulder and have a real nice day»

He was waitin' on the platform and he raised his hand to wave

And she offered no resistance as he took her to his cabin

And that diner in the distance seemed just like it never happened

She came from Fort Worth, Fort Worth couldn’t hold her

Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky

She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

And it won’t take long to say goodbye

She’s got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

And it won’t take long to say goodbye, bye bye
