I'm In Love And He's In Dallas

(앨범: All In Love - 1988)

Mama said
"Tell me what's wrong child
You didn't eat enough
To keep a bird alive
And you haven't said
Two words to me all evening"

She said
"Girl, you've got your long face on
Your eyes are red
And your smile is gone"
So I broke down
And I told my mama the reason

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinking about my love
Or drifting away from me?
I'm in love and he's in Dallas
But that's not the way it's s'pposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?

I really shoulda heard
From him by now
He promised he'd write
When things settled down
And send me money
For a ticket when things got better

And mama I guess
He's just working hard
And you know how
Those cowboys are
But it's been three weeks
And I ain't got a letter

I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Is he down there thinking about my love
Or drifting away from me?
And I'm in love and he's in Dallas
And it's not the way it's s'pposed to be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?

Well I'm in love and he's in Dallas
I'm as blue as a girl can be
Can a promise reach from Texas
All the way to Tennessee?
