On a night coach out of Dallas, headin' for the bright lights of L.A.
There's not too much in Dallas to make a man who's free unpack and stay.
I guess I've been a lot of miles and still ain't got nowhere.
Tonight I'm leavin' Dallas, maybe she'll be waitin' for me there.
Last week it was Houston, the week before somewhere in New Orleans.
With a pretty green-eyed redhead who swore that she could fill my life with dreams.
But what she had to offer came as no surprise to me.
Tonight I'm leavin' Dallas, headin' for the bright lights of L.A.
But I wonder if I'm wastin' my time.
Cause what it takes to satisfy most people never find.
Next week I might spend some time in the foothills of the mountains heard by the sea.
Somewhere there must be someone with love that will belong to only me.
So night coach take me out of here, can't stay another day.
