G
She don't see no way around it
         Em                          G     Em
He shows every sign of leavin' her behind
      G
After three days stayin' out late
         Em                               G      D
It don't look like he'll be comin' home tonight
                                  Em
She wants to cry, but pride won't let her
            F                G
She'll find better things to do
 
 
 
Leaves her key inside the mailbox
       Em                                   G    Em
With a note that tells that cowboy where to go
       G
It's a two day drive to Denver
       Em                             G    D
With a U-Haul, if she doesn't take it slow
                                  Em
She wants to cry, but pride won't let her
            F                G
She'll find better things to do
 
 
CHORUS:
           Bm                   
"Don't let Dallas see you cryin'" 
      Am7               Am               G
She reminds herself, as she rolls out of town
         Bm
When she hits that Texas border
         Am7             Am                  G
She sets pride aside and lets her tears come down
         Em                       C    Am
Then she cries all the way to Colorado
          Em                         D
'Cause it hurts like the devil to be free
 
 
INTERLUDE: G Em G
 
 
Cuts her hair and finds a new job
        Em                                       G      Em
And her friends all tell her, "Girl you're doin' fine"
          G
Still the nights get cold and lonely
          Em                                G     D
When that wild west Texas cowboy haunts her mind
                                  Em
She wants to cry, but pride won't let her
            F                G
She'll find better things to do
