Heartbreak Town

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 seems
Honk the horn when we cross the state line
Woke up the baby and she started to cry
She must have known what we were going to find

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
Take your number and you stand in line
And they watch to see how high you're going to climb
Pat on the back and better luck next time
It ain't nothing, no it ain't nothing but a heartbreak town

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 'em rise and I've seen 'em 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

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 it ain't nothing
Take your number and you stand in line
And they watch to see how high you're going to climb
Pat on the back and better luck next time
It ain't nothing, no it ain't nothing but a heartbreak town
Town
