Heartbreak Town

[Verse 1]

Hugged your friends

Kissed your mama goodbye

Baby in your arms and a tear in your eye

Twelve hundred miles and you never asked why from me

Me and the baby and you side by side

We all knew we was in for a long hard ride

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide it seemed

We honked the horn when we crossed the state line

Woke up the baby and she started to cry

She must have known what we were going to find

[Chorus]

This ain't nothing but a heartbreak town

Square people in a world that's round

And they watch you dancing

Without the sound

It ain't nothing no nothing

You take your number and you stand in line

And they watch to see how high you're going to climb

Pat on the back 'n' better luck next time

It ain't nothing no it ain't nothing but a heartbreak town

[Verse 2]

Stardust well it's a funny thing

It can make you cuss

It can make you sing

And the need to touch it gets hard to explain some days

I've seen them rise

I've seen them fall

Some get nothing

And Lord some get it all

Some just run

While others crawl away

Hold my hand baby don't let go

I've got some front money

And I've got a next show

And I'm going to need you

Down this yellow brick road

[Chorus]

This ain't nothing but a heartbreak town

Square people in a world that's round

And they watch you dancing

Without the sound

It ain't nothing no nothing

You take your number and you stand in line

And they watch to see how high you're going to climb

Pat on the back 'n' better luck next time

It ain't nothing no it ain't nothing but a heartbreak town
