WRITERS:
JAMES NIHAN
JEFFREY ALAN CHASE
SHE PULLS INTO A DINER WITH A U-HAUL BEHIND HER
AND ORDERS A COFFEE TO GO
THE SUN IS JUST RISING AND SHE'S REALIZING
SHE'S FINALLY OUT ON HER OWN
SHE STOPS BY THE PAY PHONE AND SHE ALMOST CALLS HOME
BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID
SO SHE HUMS A SONG AND TRIES TO BE STRONG
AND KEEP HERSELF LOOKING AHEAD
CHORUS #1
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH
HE FINALLY COMES TO HIS SENSES
HE'S READY TO START MENDING FENCES
BUT THIS TIME HE WON'T HAVE THE CHANCE
SHE'S RUNNING FREE AND IT'S OH, LONESOME ME
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH
SHE DOESN'T SLEEP WELL IN THAT SIESTA MOTEL
EVEN THOUGH SHE'S TIRED AND IT'S LATE
SO SHE TAKES HER MAPS OUT AND SHE DREAMS ABOUT
WHAT'S WAITING DOWN THAT INTERSTATE
SHE LOOKS AT HER HAND AND SHE SEES THE GOLD BAND
AND WONDERS IF SHE SHOULD HAVE STAYED
BUT THEN IT HITS HER, IT NO LONGER FITS HER
SO SHE LEAVES IT THERE FOR THE MAID
CHORUS #2
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH
HE TRIES TO RIDE OUT THE HEARTACHE
AND CUSSES HIMSELF FOR THE MISTAKE
OF LETTING HER SLIP THROUGH HIS HANDS
SHE'S RUNNING FREE AND IT'S OH, LONESOME ME
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH
