Leaving The Dream

One night sittin' at the bar, a laugh or two, a shooting star
We sure had the perfect night
You touched my hand and my head
Ran away with my heart, and I'll be damned
Nothing ever felt this right
Three weeks down the road
You said you'd never fall in love again
Now you're out there running for your life

Darling, don't you know
That a fairy tale's only written for the radio?
And the stars you'll always see
Well, they're gonna be right there
No matter where you choose to be

But I keep lookin' to the sky
Wondering why you passed me by
When you were chasing tears in Abilene
You'll forever never know
How far and fast you wanna go
'Til you get on leavin' the dream

Houston ain't the place to go
To start again and take it slow
Dallas isn't where you want to be
And Austin's just another place
That you can go to hide your face
You can't hide from every memory

Darling, don't you know
That a fairy tale's only written for the radio?
And the stars you'll always see
Well, they're gonna be right there
No matter where you choose to be

I keep looking to the sky
Wondering why you passed me by
When you were chasing years in Abilene
You'll forever never know
How far and fast you want to go
'Til you get on leavin' the dream

Darling, don't you know
That a fairy tale's only written for the radio
And the stars you'll always see
Well, they're gonna be right there
No matter where you choose to be

I keep looking to the sky
Wondering why you passed me by
When you were chasing tears in Abilene
You forever never know
How far and fast you want to go
'Til you get on leavin' the dream
