Alone in a booth, in the Pioneer Cafe I'm strung out from the road, a pillow in my hands I sip the last straw from a cold cup of coffee and try to sort out my feelings as good as I can Two hours behind me there’s a boy back in Dallas my phone will be ringing his afternoon call but he'll get no answer, the queens left her palace She’s alone in a cafe in Wichita Falls
Back out on the highway towards Oklahoma I'm driving and crying and hating it all This old Chevrolet is raising the sunset and taking me further from Wichita Falls
I don’t know where I'm going I have no direction and all I can say is I've made up my mind I just want to travel a long way from heartache wherever it takes me I'll leave it behind I guess that he thought I would stay there forever living my life with my back to the wall Well maybe the waitress will send him that letter I left on the table in Wichita Falls I'm going somewhere other than Texas a long way from Dallas in Wichita Falls
