Do you remember Cactus Texas
Nothing but a wide place in the road
Eighteen wheelers never go there
Main Street's just too narrow for the load

Barely had a nickel to our name
We were out to win the world

But in the bargain we lost touch
A D
With one another and old feelings that were real

Where too much never seems to be enough

Far away from all the days when the times were rough

Including you and i

Everything is separated by a wall
It's not something we can talk about

In fact we seldom even talk at all
