Tears fell like rain
When you hit the road
You saw my pain
As my tears flowed
But you said it was time
To leave the farm for the city
You had mountains to climb
And no time for pity
The Greyhound took you
Away from the farm and me
The life you lead was through
Leaving me on my knee
I now farm the land without my heart
I have lost my West Texas rose
Why oh why did you depart
Leaving me with nothing but woes.
