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
