Kathy Mattea - She Came From Fort Worth

She came from Fort Worth but Fort Worth couldn't hold her
Her dreames were bigger than the Texas sky
She's got a one way ticket on the next bus to Boulder
And it won't take long to say goodbye

She was working at a diner just a week ago
When a man from Colorado smiled and said hello
And he turned her head with stories bout a cabin in the trees
Where the wind can sing you love songs neath snowcapped mountain peaks

Now she's packed her faded blue jeans and her favorite cowboy boots
Left her apron at the diner for someone else to use
One last look in the mirror at the girl she used to be
And the driver takes her ticket and she tries to fall asleep

She came from Fort Worth...

And somewhere in the long dark night snow began to fall
Oh the world outside was sparkling white when she heard the driver call
Everyone off now for Boulder and have a real nice day
He was waitin' on the platform and he raised his hand away

And she offered no resistance as he took her to his cabin
And that diner in the distance seemed just like it never happened

She came from Fort Worth...

She's got a one way ticket on the next bus to Boulder
And it won't take long to say goodbye bye bye
