Alone in a booth
In the Pioneer Cafe
Strung out from the road
Head low in my hands.
I sip the last drop
From a cold cup of coffee
And try to sort out my feelings
As good as I can.
Two hours behind me
ThereÂ’s a boy back in Dallas
My phone will be ringing
His afternoon call.
But heÂ’ll get no answer
This queenÂ’s left her palace
SheÂ’s alone in a cafe
In Wichita Falls.

Back out on the highway
Toward Oklahoma
IÂ’m drivinÂ’ and cryinÂ’
And hatinÂ’ it all.
This old Chevrolet
Is racinÂ’ the sunset
TakinÂ’ me further
From Wichita Falls.

I donÂ’t know where IÂ’m goinÂ’
I have no direction
And all I can say is
“I’ve made up my mind”.
I just wanna travel
A long way from heartache
Wherever it takes me
IÂ’ll leave it behind.

I guess that he thought
IÂ’d stay there forever
LivinÂ’ 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.

IÂ’m goinÂ’ somewhere
Other then Texas
A long way from Dallas
in Wichita Falls.

IÂ’m takinÂ’ the highway
And goinÂ’ somewhere.
