She came from Fort Worth
Fort Worth couldn't hold her
Her dreams 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 (Bye bye)

She was workin' 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
Beneath snow-capped 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
Then the driver takes her ticket
And she tries to fall asleep

She came from Fort Worth
But Fort Worth couldn't hold her
Her dreams 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 (Bye bye)

And somewhere in the long dark night
The snow began to fall
Oh, the world outside was sparklin' 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 to wave
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
But Fort Worth couldn't hold her
Her dreams 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 (Bye bye)
