Lyrics

Heartbreak Blues

A song for these roads I've been shuffling down
I hitchhiked a little ways then turned around
took a path back to Dew Drop Inn
lit a cigarette before I stepped in
saw my compadre
hey how you been

he says
I got whiskey in the bootleg
but I ain't drunk none yet
I'm saving it saving it for when I get
them heartbreak Blues
the kind you can't lose

a better friend than her
you will not meet
and I'll share with you a secret
you might like to keep
dose for dose
women and whiskey kill
Heartbreak Blues you
never will
they find you on the street

well I've been rolling with those
Heartbreak Blues
Honky Tonks
and cowboy tunes
blows right through me blows right through
blows right through

Heartbreak Blues for these country roads
no rock and roll gonna save my soul
just a highway song to see me through
just a heartbreak song for these heartbreak blues

30 days out of Memphis
I ain't lost them yet
what a friend what a lover
I'll have no regret
them Heartbreak Blues
