I was born in Louisiana
Raised on a farm
Way back up in the woods
But at sixteen, I moved to the town of Farmerville
Not that very long ago
At least that's how it seems
There I met the girl of my dreams
I delivered groceries
She was still in high school
Her daddy kept her on a short leash
But I don't have to tell ya
We broke her daddy's every rule
Then, I went off to the war to do my good deed
When I got back home another man
Was supplying her every need
I didn't wanna live
All I did was cry
Laid down in the middle of that muddy road
I just wanted to die
That's when the heartache began
And it's been here ever since then
That's when the heartache began
I wonder, will it ever end?
I didn't wanna live
All I wanted to do was cry
Laid down in the middle of that muddy road
I just wanted to die
That's when the heartache began
I don't know what to do about it
Will it ever end?
If I could just turn back
The hands of time
I would still be hers
And she would still be mine
You know, I know
When the heartache began
I'm talking about
Way back when
The pain has been here ever since then
I just need someone to tell me
Will it ever end?
Heartaches
Pain
Cloudy days and rain
It's what I witness most of the time
It's driving me out of my mind
The heartaches are here
Oh looks like they're here to stay
Night and day, umm
That's when the heartache began
It's been a long time
It's been a long, long time
But they've been here ever since then
Heartaches
