She had her car loaded all down Pointed east as she headed on out But I had no idea how long it'd take There ain't a tree, no there ain't a rock Nothing on that horizon to block The sad view of my baby driving away Yeah, there she was kicking up dust And out here a man can see for miles, yeah, and time don't fly Losing love is always tough But here in west Texas it takes a while to say goodbye It's bad enough she's gone, gone, gone But I had to watch her leave me, all day long I should have known that she wouldn't dig The rattlesnakes and rusty oil rigs Living here wasn't her idea of fun I sat and whittled me a big ol' stick Down to nothing but a little toothpick Just waiting on her to get here leaving done Yeah, and there she was kicking up dust And out here a man can see for miles, yeah, and time don't fly Losing love is always tough But here in west Texas it takes a while to say goodbye It's bad enough she's gone, gone, gone But I had to watch her leave me, all day long, yeah Yeah, there she was kicking up dust And out here a man can see for miles, yeah, and time don't never fly Yeah, losing love is always tough But here in west Texas it takes a while to say goodbye It's bad enough she's gone, long gone But I had to watch her leave me, all day long All day long, all day long
