At a truck stop at three in the mornin’
Sometimes you can see things so clear
The direction your whole life’s been goin’
And the lost dreams you once held so dear

I parked my old rig by the diner
And burned one before I went in
I wasn’t needin’ a reminder ‘bout you
But there it was on the West Texas wind

There’s an old song on the air tonight
And nothin’ makes me feel alone
Like rain in the street lights
Waltzes after midnight
And rememberin’ you’re nеver comin’ home

I last heard you’d movеd up to Boston
Lord I never imagined you there
To me you were the queen of Austin
With neon magic like a crown in your hair

The rain turned the potholes to puddles
As the chorus came ‘round one more time
There by the end I had trouble tellin’
Were those Texas’ tears or mine
There’s an old song on the air tonight
And nothin’ makes me feel alone
Like rain in the street lights
Waltzes after midnight
And rememberin’ you’re never comin’ home

Said the fallen-down fenceposts to the old weepin’ willow
I reckon we both should have known
Our barbed wire bluebird has flown
