From Austin to Dallas

Contributed by lastwaltz on Wednesday, 2nd April 2003 @ 05:36:33 AM in AEST
Topic: goodbyepoetry



The bags are packed,
And Im vacuuming the floor.
Im moving on to Dallas
Cause I dont love you anymore.

Thought you had my number?
Well, dont bother making that call
Cause the phones already in the car,
And I aint missing you at all.

By the time I hit Georgetown,
Ill stop being your clown
Cause the river I cried for you
Carried me right on out of town.

My tears will be spent,
My cheeks dry by Temple,
And when Im smiling in the sunlight,
I wont be thinking of your dimples.

And when I near the edge of Lorena,
I wont stop in at that honky-tonk.
I wont need a drink or two,
And I wont long to hear sad country songs.

Ill speed right on through Waco
Without even stopping for gas
Cause each mile between us
Is proof that our time has passed.

And that long, dry stretch of land
Between Hillsboro and my new home
Wont bring you back into my mind
As I watch those lonely horses roam.

And if you should see a wide stream of blood
Running right up I-35,
Dont follow it to my front door, baby
Cause theres no way that wound is mine.
