Tracy Lawrence - How A Cowgirl Says Goodbye Lyrics






A cup of coffee with the first sunlight at a last chance Texaco
I'm thumbin' through a worn out roadmap tryin' to decide which way to go
These empty miles that are memory they just seem to linger on
She left me on this lost highway wondering why and where she'd gone
That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart
That's how my whole world slowly came apart
With a cold and empty stare as if I wasn't there she didn't even stop to cry
That's how a cowgirl says goodbye

Called up her mom down in Abilene just to find out how she fared
She said she'd stopped a while in San Antone spent some time with an old friend
With all this distance in between us I'm sure I never cross her mind
And it may take all these roads ahead just to leave it all behind
That's how a cowgirl breaks...
That's how a cowgirl breaks...

    "Ha. You got a horse?"
    "I did."

  11. L.... T....

    I hate people who criticize modern music for simply not being like the good ol' days. Being a fan of modern rap or modern punk for example, is very difficult. Though, I can always agree that country will never ever be like the good ol' days. This is where country peaked. God bless Tracy Lawrence.

  12. S.... ....

    wow nice. . . . . i was in a country band in the 70's and today i sing a lot country songs on karaoke and also at home. most of it is on youtube. i heard this one for the first time tonight -- at a bar on long island. everyone was singing country stuff. i intend to give it a try!

  13. C.... L....

    Lol Love this song. Some of you old dirty dogs deserve it.

  14. A.... T....

    Great song great video. Heartache sucks always!!!!

  15. R.... C....

    He has a very, very good voice. Lots of range. Real talent. How do people get recording contracts without it?

  16. w.... ....

    Change for the phone... lol

  17. J.... C....

    Anybody know where this was filmed?

  18. R.... 1....

    Some young woman typically shatters a young man's soul around the age of 16 or 17.  He survives by becoming hardened and cynical.  But the experience never really leaves him.  And his mind always wonders back in time to revisit the emotional calamity that shaped his coming of age.  Later when they are ready to "settle down", women wonder why men are so "heartless" and stolid.  This cycle repeats decade after decade, generation after generation.  And society falls deeper and deeper into the abyss.

  19. E.... M....

    How come Tracy Lawrence don't get love from small towns like Norco, Mira Loma jurupa California?

    A cup of coffee with the first sunlight at a last chance Texaco
    I'm thumbin' through a worn out roadmap
    tryin' to decide which way to go
    These empty miles that are memory
    they just seem to linger on

    She left me on this lost highway
    wondering why and where she'd gone

    That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart
    That's how my whole world slowly came apart
    With a cold and empty stare
    as if I wasn't there she didn't even stop to cry
    That's how a cowgirl says goodbye
    ---------
    Called up her mom down in Abilene
    just to find out how she fared
    She said she'd stopped a while in San Antone
    spent some time with an old friend

    With all this distance in between us
    I'm sure I never cross her mind
    And it may take all these roads ahead
    just to leave it all behind
    --------
    That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart
    That's how my whole world slowly came apart
    With a cold and empty stare
    as if I wasn't there she didn't even stop to cry
    That's how a cowgirl says goodbye

    That's how a cowgirl breaks a young man's heart
    That's how my whole world slowly came apart
    With a cold and empty stare
    as if I wasn't there she didn't even stop to cry
    I guess that's how a cowgirl says goodbye.....

    P.... H....

    Just to find out how she’d been*

  26. D.... D....

    Seen ya three times and never been disappointed brother, keep coming back to play in Louisiana we all love you!

  27. H.... E....

  28. S.... F....

  30. g.... ....

    Great song. Texas Tornado though is a legendary song and video. Think it is his best.

    g.... ....

    gbot3377 to many to pick.

  31. g.... ....

    When country and country videos were just pure MAGIC.

  32. D.... D....

    case of beer later here I am

  35. S.... J....

  36. F.... G....

    My wife LOVES this song!!, Moe Bandy style!!!

  37. J.... G....

    Oh shit I forgot bout this gem instant new number one

  38. J.... R....

    Bring the pay phones back!

  39. C.... E....

    Really love this song heard it on the radio got CD play this track loads wasnt even a country fan never heard of Tracy but I do now

  40. G.... S....

    I grew in the nineties and um the old timers thought this country music stunk but I loved it. now we think the country of today stinks. I guess some things never change.

    G.... S....

    Gwendolyn Sparks difference is this music isn't overly synthetic.
    You can play this live with no amplifiers and it'll still sound the same.
    Today is really just country-rock

  41. m.... d....

    There is a Wendy's near by that I like to go hang out at and they play classic 90's country,todays country sucks.

  42. S.... ....

    I was born in 1995 and I think this is real country. Never will be the same I wish I could’ve been around back then

    S.... ....

    Damn u make me feel old

  43. R.... D....

    the best ever

  44. L.... L....

    I never get tired of Tracy Lawrence.

    L.... L....

    You got that right,

    L.... L....

    Liane Layman Toby keith

  45. T.... M....

    Let them wear their fancy cloths and walk the red carpet. You don't need it. You laid it for them. They cant shine your boots when it comes to music. Keep tearin it up out there your loved by so many. You paved the way for them. Thanks for sharing this

  46. T.... M....

    Tracy no one in country music today can hold a candel to you. You keep talking about Keith Whitley being a legend. Sir so are you. To heck with CMA awards and Justin timberlake you don't need to be on that. You have paid your dues and made your mark in my opinion. And better than anyone.

  47. d.... ....

    This is where ive been looking to be. Thank you for this add.

  48. C.... M....

    phone booths make me feel sooooooooooooooo old

  49. A.... T....

    that kid seems like a brat! did you see him just dart out into traffic.. good grief!

  50. R.... G....

    This is real country. Not the garbage of today.

  51. A.... B....

    Tracy sang it right that's how a cowgirl says goodbye. A woman can love you with all her heart and will try to tell you what she needs if you can't listen this is what happens because her heart is broken time after time till​ she goes numb and then she will be gone even if she's right beside you. Don't let this be the reason you lose her.

  52. B.... W....

    he's wearing those stranglers!

  53. T.... N....

    Omg I love this song, I remember watching this video as a kid ❤️ fav artist. Real country music 🎶

    T.... N....

    I love it too.

  54. T.... R....

    My favorite. Cool work !

  55. M.... E....

    Love this song! childhood memories !

    M.... E....

    Sure brings back a lot.

  56. A.... S....

    beautiful song!

  57. F.... C....

    Love me some Tracy Lawrence

  58. J.... W....

    I am not talking about his recent stuff. Heck, even George Strait's music nowadays is pop influenced. The late 80's was the beginning of the end of what I consider to be country music. If you ever want to talk country music, you know where to find me.

    J.... W....

    Joshua Weikleenget shit the 2000s were the end of good country well the really good stuff anyway

    J.... W....

    Joshua Weikleenget Texas country is ok these days, not Nashville tho, nothing compares to 90's country and Red Dirt

    J.... W....

    Late 70's were the beginning of the end of Country...it took George Strait and his Western Swing to bring the country back for a while...or have you forgotten Barbara Mandrell singing "I was Country (when country wasn't cool)"

    J.... W....

    At that “that’s the night the lights went out in Georgia” country!

  59. B.... R....

    Is the blond pulling away in the truck, Tracy's second wife. Just wondering.

    B.... R....

    You got to calm down and stop critiquing everything I write. Don't take everything so literally. And, as far as I am concerned, its a TRUCK. Have a nice day.

    B.... R....

    +Brittany B rather push a ford than drive a dodge or a chevy

  60. M.... S....

    Love this song

  61. D.... L....

    he traced that line to my heart man he was headed to Fort Worth <3

    D.... L....

    yeah !!! That's my home town !

  62. B.... ....

    Crackle Barrel brought me here. A classic song

    B.... ....

    Brittany B you are stupid

  63. A.... K....

    what do $10 worth of quarters have to do with making a phone call in Texas???

    A.... K....

    +Kol Bluenu , you have no idea *tips cowboy hat*

    A.... K....

    +Kol Bluenu May come as a surprise, but cell phones didn't always exist.

    A.... K....

    You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you.
    Pay phones require quarters duuuuhhhh
    And tollways did too

  64. b.... m....

    Anyone else willing to pay money to watch Tracy Lawrence roundhouse kick Luke Bryan in the face?

    b.... m....

    To Hell with Luke Bryan.

    b.... m....

    brad metcalf HELL YEAH!

    b.... m....

    brad metcalf i got 5 on it

    b.... m....

    brad metcalf I'd hold Luke Bryan while he did it.....

    b.... m....

    Tracy got to big of a hart.. to beet Luke’s ass lol

  65. J.... W....

    This is country music.

    J.... W....

    The majority of what is considered "country" music as of today.

    J.... W....

    +Brittany B have you ever thought that maybe they dont want to.

  66. H.... R....

    Really like this "Cowgirl" song along with all the rest !     Real  Music !

  67. B.... R....

    Wow, where have I been.  First time seeing this video.  I love it.  This "cowgirl" must be nuts to leave him.

    B.... R....

    Barbara Rene. Lol. I know that's right!!

  68. a.... p....

  69. K.... J....

    K.... J....

    Belinda Ward Sorry for your loss. Your dad played his part well. Where was this filmed?

  70. B.... ....

  75. 6.... ....

    I guess she had time to trade her blue truck in for a white one.

    6.... ....

    No that white truck just reminded him where she was headed

    6.... ....

    I think he was hoping to get a ride to the stock show because they had a trailer with horses.

  76. M.... ....

    Yep, that's how most of them do it to you. The last one told me "Don't bother me anymore" LOL And they wonder why guys treat women like crap! I will for now on. No more nice guy. 

    M.... ....

    Where's your fedora and your misogyny? Cause it's showing, b*tch.

    M.... ....

    +Ayashe Allcorn  Yup, just throw that word around femanazi.

  77. a.... b....

    THIS is country!! Not like the crap today..

    a.... b....

    adam bieber I Live In Ashdown Arkansas Not Far From Foreman Arkansas Where Tracy Was Raised My Best Friend Tim Merrill Knows He Said Tracy's One Of The Coolest Guy To Hang Out With

    a.... b....

    U GOT DAMN RIGHT!! AND HOW BOUT THEM AWARDS SHOWS THE SAME 6 PEOPLE EVERY YEAR!!!

    a.... b....

    Totally agree

  78. D.... W....

    Tracy, I heard you're tryin' to quit smokin' cigarettes, I pray that that's goin' well for ya.

  79. N.... S....

    Ah, this was my senior year of high school. I grew up in the decades of new wave, punk rock and grunge, when I saw this video at a friends house it really hit home to what I was going through at the time emotionally. Tracy opened my ears to the country music genre, and I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1999 upon his visit to Eureka, California (I actually owned a cowboy hat at the time he autographed for me). One of the nicest fellas in country I've ever met and I'm glad after all these years to have stumbled across this video!
