Heartbreak Town lyrics
by Dixie Chicks



Hugged your friendsKissed your mama goodbyeBaby in your arms and a tear in your eyeTwelve hundred miles and you never asked why from meMe and the baby and you side by sideWe all knew we was in for a long hard rideNowhere to run and nowhere to hide it seemedWe honked the horn when we crossed the state lineWoke up the baby and she started to cryShe must have known what we were going to findThis ain’t nothin’ but a heartbreak townSquare people in a world thats roundAnd they watch you dancin’Without the soundIt ain’t nothin’ no nothin’You take your number and you stand in lineAnd they watch to see how high you’re gonna climbPat on the back ’n’ better luck next timeIt ain’t nothin’ no it ain’t nothin’ but a heartbreak townStardust well it’s a funny thingIt can make you cussIt can make you singAnd the need to touch it gets hard to explain some daysI’ve seen ’em riseI’ve seen ’em fallSome get nothin’And lord some get it allSome just runWhile others crawl awayHold my hand baby don’t let goI’ve got some front moneyAnd I’ve got a next showAnd I’m gonna need youDown this yellow brick roadThis ain’t nothin’ but a heartbreak townSquare people in a world that’s roundAnd they watch you dancin’ without a soundIt ain’t nothin’ no it ain’t nothin’ noYou take your number and you stand in lineAnd they watch to see how high you’re gonna climbPat on the back ’n’ better luck next timeIt ain’t nothin’ no it ain’t nothin’But a heartbreak townTownHeartbreak town
