“If Heartaches Were Nickels”
I wish you could see me
All broken down this way
But even if you saw me, baby
I know I still couldn’t make you stay
Couldn’t make you stay
You know about the high cost of loving baby
But someday, someday
You’re gonna have to pay
Gonna have to pay
Oh, a woman like you needs fine things
And I knew [...]

Sparkle as the tears come
They glitter as they fall
You sacrifice your love
For the wonder of it all

And I deal, and you don’t, yeah

Livin’ on pain and sorrow
Until you find another way
Livin’ on pain and sorrow
Until I find another way
Where’s your silver lining?
Where’s your long lost friend?
The emptiness is [...]

The precious disgrace from my own hands

I wanna go there, I wanna climb
Now I don’t know about no law, I don’t see no crime
Ain’t no reason, ain’t no rest

And I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it
I can’t wait to see them walls falling down
Tell me Jesus, why they run

Lyrics – Woke Up Dreaming

“Woke Up Dreaming”

Woke up dreaming,
I was gonna die.
Woke up dreaming,
I was gonna die.
‘Cause my baby said her,
Said her last goodbyes.
Reached out for her,
And she was not there.
Reached out for her,
And she was not there.
Lord I miss her body,
And her long brown hair.
Heart rate fallin’ – river flood,
Black cat bawlin’ – moon drippin’ blood.
Woke up dreamin’, [...]

You are now watching: Lyrics – “If Heartaches Were Nickels”


“If Heartaches Were Nickels”

I wish you could see me
All broken down this way
But even if you saw me, baby
I know I still couldn’t make you stay
Couldn’t make you stay

You know about the high cost of loving baby
But someday, someday
You’re gonna have to pay
Gonna have to pay

Oh, a woman like you needs fine things
And I knew it from the start
And I don’t have much to offer
Just this old broken heart, hey baby
Just this old broken heart
But if heartaches were nickels
I would not, I wouldn’t be here crying in the dark

Yes If wine and pills were hundred dollar
bills, I might keep you satisfied
And if broken dreams were limousines
I might take you for a ride

And all I can do is think of you
And wish you were here by my side
Yes, if heartaches were nickels
I’d be the richest fool alive

If wine and pills were hundred dollar
bills, I might keep you satisfied
If broken dreams were limousines
I might take you for a ride

But all I can do is think of you
And wish you were here by my side
Oh, if heartaches were nickels
I’d be the richest fool alive
I’d be the richest fool alive
