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
