Do you remember Cactus, Texas?
Nothing but a white place in the road.
Eighteen wheelers never go there.
Main street's just too narrow for the load.
A little [G] town of honest people,
Some we haven't seen for quite a while.
I was young and restless,
We [A] both were full of dreams running [D] wild.
We left our old home town and family,
Barely had a nickel to our name.
We were out to win the world,
Not once looking back or losing aim.
We hit [G] the big town in the big time,
Not a lot of effort [D] in the deal.
But in the bargain we lost touch with one another,
And old feelings that were real.
[G]
[D]
[D]
In a big house up on easy street,
Where too much never seems to be enough.
We're not the same two people,
Far away from all the days when times were rough.
[G] In flirting you and I,
Everything is separated [D] by a wall.
It's not something we can talk about,
In [A] fact we seldom even talk at all.

[E] [D]

[E] [D]
I [G] don't think we realize,
How or why we ever came this far.
Let's go back to Cactus, Texas,
Maybe [A] once we're there we'll find out where we are.
Nothing but a white place in the road.
Eighteen wheelers never go there.
Main street's just too narrow for the load.

Some we haven't seen for quite a while.
