Witchita Falls Lyrics

Alone in a booth, in the Pioneer Cafe
I'm strung out from the road, a pillow in my hands
I sip the last straw from a cold cup of coffee
And try to sort out my feelings as good as I can
Two hours behind me there's a boy back in Dallas
My phone will be ringing his afternoon call
But he'll get no answer, the queens left her palace
She's alone in a cafe in Witchita Falls

Back out on the highway towards Oklahoma
I'm driving and crying and hating it all
This old Chevrolet is raising the sunset
And taking me further from Witchita Falls

I don't know where I'm going I have no direction
And all I can say is I've made up my mind
I just want to travel a long way from heartache
Wherever it takes me I'll leave it behind
I guess that he thought I would stay there forever
Living my life with my back to the wall
Well maybe the waitress will send him that letter
I left on the table in Witchita Falls
I'm going somewhere other than Texas
A long way from Dallas in Witchita Falls

I'm taking the highway, yeah, I'm going somewhere

Alone in a booth, in the Pioneer Cafe 
I'm strung out from the road, a pillow in my hands
I sip the last straw from a cold cup of coffee
And try to sort out my feelings as good as I can
Two hours behind me there's a boy back in Dallas
My phone will be ringing his afternoon call
But he'll get no answer, the queens left her palace
She's alone in a cafe in Witchita Falls

Back out on the highway towards Oklahoma 
I'm driving and crying and hating it all
This old Chevrolet is raising the sunset
And taking me further from Witchita Falls

I don't know where I'm going I have no direction
And all I can say is I've made up my mind
I just want to travel a long way from heartache
Wherever it takes me I'll leave it behind
I guess that he thought I would stay there forever 
Living my life with my back to the wall
Well maybe the waitress will send him that letter 
I left on the table in Witchita Falls
I'm going somewhere other than Texas
A long way from Dallas in Witchita Falls

I'm taking the highway, yeah, I'm going somewhere

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
