| She said her mind was made up, |
| Em7 | |
| As she put on her make-up, |
| C | D | |
| Said there was nothing here for | her, |
| G | |
| She just packed up her suitcase, |
| Em7 | |
| And she walked right out that fromt gate, |
| C | Dsus/D | |
| With her taxi waiting at the | curb, |

| (verse) |
| Last night the band played Dallas, |
| I sang the song I wrote about us, |
| And you could feel the sadness in the air, |
| After the show was over, |
| I a hand lay on my shoulder, |
| Turned around and found her standin' there, |
| (bridge) |
| She said after all these years, |
| It's nice to know your dreams came true, |
| And the wedding band there on her hand, |
| Told me that hers had to, |
| (chorus) |
