Fred Eaglesmith - Milly's Cafe Lyrics
They put up a sign for the very last timeAt Milly's CafeThey loaded their stuff into the carAnd they drove awayMilly looked back for one last timeAnd when she turned around, she was cryingBilly just listened to the songs the radio playedThey drove all the way from Fort Worth to AmarilloWhen Milly woke up she had makeup all over her pillowBilly had stopped at Easy PawnAnd bought them up a couple of gunsTomorrow, he said, was gonna be a brand new dayMilly and Billy tore up the entire WestThey started holding up liquor stores and then they turned to banksAnd it wasn't very long, you knowTheir picture was on the post office wallAnd it seemed that the whole world was looking for themAnd the roads just get rougherOut in West TexasThe cowboys are tougherAnd the young girls are restlessAnd the winds take the towns And there ain't any signsBut there's always a hill to climbOn the West Texas skylineMilly was raised a Christian in AberdeenHer father was a preacher in the biggest church you ever did seeWhen word came down about Milly and BillyHe made a call up to New York CityHe said for some boys to come down and set things straightHe met Milly in El PasoUnderneath a tree in the parking lot of the motelAnd the next day when Billy went in the bankShe started the car and she drove awayWhen Billy came out, he never had a chanceAnd the roads just get rougherOut in West TexasThe cowboys are rougher And the young girls are restlessAnd the winds take the townsAnd there ain't any signsBut there's always a hill to climbOn the West Texas skylinePut up the sign one more timeAt Milly's cafeThey loaded the stuff out of the car and into the doorwayMilly looked back the one last timeAnd when she turned around she was cryingHer daddy just got in his car and he drove awayAnd the roads just get rougherOut in West TexasCowboys are tougherBut the young girls are restlessAnd the winds takes the town And there ain't any signs There's always a hill to climbOn the West Texas skylineThere's always a hill to climb On the West Texas skyline
