lyrics

Now she's livin' in West Virginia
and I'm down in San Anton
She said "I'm tired of tryin' to win ya
Now I'm livin' my life alone"

I've been workin' at the Lone Star Saloon
Cleanin' tables and sweepin' floors
Spend my evenings staring at the moon
Dreaming of what ain't no more

I've been livin' in a flatbed pickup
down the road from the Alamo
Then the man come says "It's time to get up"
You gotta know when it's time to go

There's ties that break and ties that bind
and there's some that don't do at all
When you try to tie tow hearts unkind
You know those are bound to fall
