She'll Find Better Things to Do

[Verse 1]

She don't see no way around it

He shows every sign of leaving her behind

After three days staying out late

It don't look like he'll be coming home tonight

She wants to cry but pride won't let her

She'll find better things to do

Leaves her key inside the mailbox

With a note that tells that cowboy where to go

It's a two day drive to Denver

With a U-Haul if she doesn't take it slow

She wants to cry but pride won't let her

She'll find better things to do

[Chorus]

Don't let Dallas see you crying

She reminds herself as she rolls out of town

When she hits that Texas border she sets pride aside

And lets her tears come down

Then she cries all the way to Colorado

Because it hurts like the devil to be free

[Verse 2]

Cuts her hair and finds a new job

And her friends all tell her girl you're doing fine

Still the nights get cold and lonely

When that wild west Texas cowboy haunts her mind

She wants to cry but pride won't let her

She'll find better things to do

[Chorus]

Don't let Dallas see you crying

She reminds herself as she rolls out of town

When she hits that Texas border she sets pride aside

And lets her tears come down

Then she cries all the way to Colorado

Because it hurts like the devil to be free
