How a Cowgirl Says Goodbye (Live)

[Intro]
Since we are in Texas, son, I know we got some cowgirls out there somewhere
Let's do one for the cowgirls, boys
Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
Well, that's how a cowgirl says goodbye

[Verse 2]
Called up her mama in Abilene just to find out how she'd been
Said she'd stopped a while 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

[Chorus]
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
Well, 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
