|
It's three in the morning on a Saturday night
|
The laundry and dishes just ain't worth the fight
|
Headlights are dancing across the living room wall
|
And that lone distant highway just echoes the hall
|
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their rooms
|
And he's been passed out on the sofa since noon
|
And nobody told her about none of these things
|
And God only knows she'd leave there if heartaches had wings
|
|
(Chorus)
|
If heartaches had wings she would fly
|
Away like some bird through the night
|
It's a long, long way from a young girl's dream
|
And she'd surely leave there
|
If heartaches had wings
|
|
She grew up believing
|
That wishes come true
|
A knight on a white horse
|
Like some young girls do
|
So she married her the captain
|
Of the school football team
|
Just like she was supposed to
|
As homecoming queen
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
(ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
|
|
(Bridge)
|
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed
|
The sounds of that highway still run through her head
|
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers
|
And falls asleep wondering does anyone care
|
|
(Repeat Chorus)
|
|
And God knows she leave there
|
If heartaches had wings
|
(ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
|
