[Verse]
D G
A cup of coffee with the first sun light
A D
At a last chance Texaco
D Em
I'm thumbing through a worn out roadmap
A Em D
Trying to decide which way to go
D Em
These empty miles that are memories
A D
They just seem to linger on
D Em
She left me on this lost highway
Em A D C G D
Wondering why and where she'd gone
[Chorus]
D Em
That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart
A D
That's how my whole world slowly came apart
D Em
With a cold and empty stare
Em A
As if I wasn't even there
A
She didn't even stop to cry
Em D C G D
That's how a cowgirl says goodbye
[Verse]
D Em
Called up her mom down in Abilene
A D
just to find out how she fared
D Em
She said she stopped a while in San Antone
Em A D
spent some time with an old friend
D Em
with all this distance in between us
A D
I'm sure I never cross her mind
D Em
And it may take all these roads ahead
A D C G D
just to leave it all behind
[Chorus]
D Em
That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart
A D
That's how my whole world slowly came apart
D Em
With a cold and empty stare
Em A
As if I wasn't even there
A
She didn't even stop to cry
Em D C G D
That's how a cowgirl says goodbye
[Outro]
Em D C G D
I guess that's how a cowgirl says goodbye
