Well I met her waitin’ tables in a coffee shop
One dark and lonely day
Ooh, I never would a’ thought in a million years
That I could fall this way
It’s funny how fate can fool ya
Just when you’re givin’ up
She said hello how are ya
And then she filled my cup.

And it was goodbye yesterday’s heartache
So long to the born to lose
Cause now I’ve found the right way
It’s been a hard luck road to a love long overdue.

Now her face was like an angel and her legs were long
When she looked at me
I knew that somewhere down in my deep blue soul
This was meant to be
I asked her what ya doin’ later
She said I’m free at five
I picked up the check to pay her
And she said you’d better be on time.

And it was goodbye yesterday’s heartache
So long to the born to lose
Cause now I’ve found the right way
It’s been a hard luck road to a love long overdue.

There right underneath all the Texas stars
She took my pain away
As I held her close in my tremblin’ arms
I knew my world had changed
Told her that I was a rambler
She said yes I know
But when I looked her in those big brown eyes
Well that was all she wrote.

And it was goodbye yesterday’s heartache
So long to the born to lose
Cause now I’ve found the right way
It’s been a hard luck road to a love long overdue.
