Heartbreak Town
Heartbreak Town


I thought I’d be a big deal in this heartbreak town
Everything I touched would just turn to gold
I started at the bottom and I’m sliding down
Falling just as fast as anyone could go

Chorus
I’m leaving this lonesome heartbreak town
Highway 40 lookout here I come
I’m headed for Memphis to make a brand new start
I’m leaving this lonely heartbreak town
I’m leaving this lonely heartbreak town

I walked down every street in this heartbreak town
And knocked on every door on Music Row
Sang my heart out every night ‘til closing time
Well I’ve stayed too long and I’m bound to go

Chorus

Hank Williams used walk these same worn streets
And drink in these shabby Broadway bars
When they kicked him off the Opry stage
Now I know how he felt when he split this town
