  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
  A little town  of honest people
  Some we haven't seen for quite awhile
  I was young and restless
  And we both  were full of dreams and runnin' wild
  We left  our old hometown and family
  Barely had a nickel to our name
  We were out to win the world
  Not once looking back or losing aim
  We hit the big  town and the big time
  Not a lot of effort in the deal
  But in the bargain we lost touch
  With one another  and old feelings that were real
  In a  big house up on easy street
  Where too much never seems to be enough
  We're not the same two people
  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
  I don't think  we realize
  How or why we ever came this far
  Let's go back  to Cactus Texas
  Maybe once  we're there
  We'll find out where we are

Do [D]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
      A little tow[G]n of honest people
      Some we haven't seen for quite aw[D]hile

      I was young and restless
      And we bot[A]h were full of dreams and runnin' w[D]ild

      We [D]left our old hometown and family

      Barely had a nickel to our name

      We were out to win the world

      Not once looking back or losing aim
      We hit the big[G] town and the big time
      Not a lot of effort in the dea[D]l

      But in the bargain we lost touch
      With one another[A] and old feelings that were r[D]eal

      In [D]a big house up on easy street

      Where too much never seems to be enough

      We're not the same two people

      Far away from all the days when the times were rough
      Includ[G]ing you and i
      Everything is separated by a wal[D]l

      It's not something we can talk about
      In fac[A]t we seldom even talk at all [D]

      I don't thin[G]k we realize
