If Heartaches Had Wings歌词

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

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

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 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

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

If heartaches had wings
