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 you and the baby side by side

We all knew we was in

For a long, hard ride.

Nowhere to run, and

Nowhere to hide it seemed.

I honked the horn

When we crossed the state line.

Woke up the baby, and

She started to cry.

She must have known what

We we're goin' to find.

(chorus)

This ain't nothin' but a heartbreak town.

Square people in a world that's round.

And, they watch you dancin'

Without the sound.

It ain't nothin', no nothin'.

You take your number

And you stand in line.

And they watch to see

How high you're gonna climb.

Pat on the back, and

Better luck next time.

It ain't nothing, no it ain't nothin'

But a heartbreak town.

Stardust, well it's a funny thing.

It can make you cuss

It can make you sing

When you need a touch

It gets hard to explain somedays.

I've seen 'em rise

And I've seen 'em fall.

Some get nothin', 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 an -----------

And I'm, I'm gonna lead you

Down this yellow brick road.

[repeat chorus]

Town

Heartbreak town
