She's Already Made Up Her Mind

Was it the Texas Ranger Museum? Dr. Pepper? Or Big 12 conference athletics?

Let Lyle say it for me. She's already made up her mind.


Two years of road trips. Think Thelma & Louise.



We were on the run from idle hours in Carolina. We weren't sure where we'd end up. We always met friends on the road.

Hit a couple of honky tonks and record stores along the way, like the Bruton family biz and the Love Shack. Stayed with Uncle Jeff. Even caught Pat Green sneaking into a Mystiqueros set.



We hit the Big D, the capitol of Texas, and Capitol Hill.



We even stormed the Mall. No, wait. It was storming on the National Mall.



Now the journey is over.


Ella is off to university. She's already made up her mind. She picked the private school in Waco.



She's leaving me because she really wants to
And she'll be happy when she goes
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy
She'll dance and sing and even learn to fly
-"She's Leaving Me" Lyle Lovett
