Wel I met her waitin` tables in a coffee shop
one dark and lonely day
ooh I never would a thought in a million years
That I could fall this way
it`s funny how fate can fool ya
Just when you`re givin` up
she said how are ya
and the she filled my cup
And it was goodbye, yesterday`s heartache
so long, to be 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
and when shelooked at me
I knew that somewhere down
in my deep blue soul
this was meant to be
I asked her what cha doin later
she said I`m free at five
I picked up the check to pay her
And she said youb better be on time
And it was goodbye, yesterday`s heartache
so long, to be 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 as i held her close in my tremblin` 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 the wrote
And it was goodbye, yesterday`s heartache
so long, to be born to lose
Cause now I`ve found the right way
it`s been a hard luck road to a love long overdue
