He calls from a hotel in downtown Dallas

Says he wont be home for three more days

She gets so lonely in her Houston hill top palace

Talking to her self as their two-year-old plays

She rocks the baby to sleep then gets in bed

Reads romance novels of a love she once had

She closes her eyes and dreams about the man

Who gave her more than money and a call now and then



Chorus:

As the shine on her diamond starts to fade

She recalls the promises they made

But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks

Shes stuck between a rock and a heartache



She tries to keep busy with her everyday routines

Soap operas in the afternoons, after she cleans

As she wipes off a picture frame from their wedding day

She wonders if he asked her again what would she say



Chorus



She feels like shes stranded somewhere in no mans land

Cause her life is like a prisoners chained to a wedding band



Chorus
