When Heartache Comes to Town

Hear that lonesome sound, 

don't you hear that lonesome sound,

that's the sound of heartbreak

coming back to town.

Get up off that track, 

you’d better get up off the track,

she'll run you over

and she won't look back.

If you try to play you're going down,

she’ll break your heart and never make a sound.

Don't look for me ‘cause I wont be around,

I’m highway bound when heartache comes to town. 

All she wants to know, 

all she really wants to know,

who she’ll meet backstage 

after the show.

Then she’ll see, 

then she’ll really see,

things ain’t always what

they seem to be.

If you try to play you're going down,

she’ll break your heart and never make a sound.

Don't look for me ‘cause I wont be around

I’m highway bound when heartache comes to town.
