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 the baby and you side by side We all knew we was in for a long hard ride Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide it seemed We 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
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 'n' 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 And the need to 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 a next show And I'm, I'm gonna need you down this yellow brick road
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 it ain't nothin' no You take your number and you stand in line And they watch to see how high you're gonna climb Pat on the back 'n' better luck next time It ain't nothing, no it ain't nothin' but a heartbreak town Town Heartbreak town
