Heartland Heartbreak

Album: Buckles and Boots

INTRO:A,D,E,A

VERSE:
                       A
I saved some dough and bought a ranch
                         D
Yeah I've been livin' on her ever since
                      E
I fell in love with a golden morning
                         A
Say, how ya doing, got a lot of friends

VERSE:
Yeah I got myself a sheppard cross
She had pups and I kept them all
Me and my barn dogs 
Waiting on the woman with the right touch

VERSE:
She comes along and I fall in love
Yeah, I loved her like a country song
Country songs don't last that long
Before I knew it she was gone

CHORUS:
                 A
She was my heartland heartbreak 
                 D
My pretty little mistake
                        E
She left me down by the cold lake
                     A
Now she's driving my truck away
                 
My sweet little '58
                            D
I tried to stop her but was too late
                       E
She left me holding my tail gate
                  A
Sometimes I don't know my own strength

BREAK:A,D,E,A

VERSE:
Well I got a job at the local bar
Every Friday picking my guitar
She walked in she saw a western star
I saw my chance to have a good March

VERSE:
Well that month turned into a year
Yeah we threw her into second gear
Country living and a lot of free beer
I guess one day she had it up to here

CHORUS:

BREAK:A,D,E,A

VERSE:
Well now my well was dry
And the money hounds could smell a good buy
Well I wasn't selling her for any price
No and that took a toll on my love life

VERSE:
See she wanted me to sell it all
Move to the city and get a real job
Well I told her I would rather go to hell
She told me she rather I go by myself

CHORUS:

OUTRO:A,D,E,A
