Well, I met her waiting tables
In a coffee shop
One dark and lonely day
Abd I never would have thought
In a million years
That I could fall this way
It's funny how fate can fool you
Just when you're giving up
She said, "Hello, how are you?"
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 you're doing later?"
She said, "I'm free at five"
I picked up the check to pay her
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
And I held her close
In my trembling arms
I knew my world had changed
Told her that I was a rambler
She said, "Yes, I know"
But when I looked 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
