I walked her to the plane in Phoenix
I said, "Say hello to your mama."
She couldn't even look me in the eye
I drove out to the desert
Just like nothing happened
But somewhere in the darkness
I heard her say goodbye

[Chorus]
Now I hear voices in the wind
Sayin' she ain't coming back to me
I look for guidance in the sky
But the stars have all gone out tonight
I feel like the love of my life is dying
Even the man in the moon is crying

I'm burning up this blacktop
Headin' down to Austin
I wonder if she misses me tonight
I wish that I could tell her
How much I love her
And I wish this damned ol' Thunderbird could fly

[Chorus]

Even the man in the moon is crying
