american heartbreak

well i've been down to the valley

yes

i've looked up to the sky

and i've been lost in the heartland

i've been down the wind high

across the ohio river

chased the trains to santa fe

seen the fields of virginia across the great northern plains

but i wish there was a southbound highway headed straight for la

oh the miles keep tearing me away

and my love for you will never ever change

i heard another american heartbreak

well i've met all kinds of people

from the northeast to the west

man i've looked for some kind of meaning

that i've tried hard to forget

across the ohio river

took the train to santa fe

seen the fields of virginia across chesapeake bay

man i wish there was a southbound highway headed straight for la

oh the miles keep tearing me away

and my love for you will never ever change

i heard another american heartbreak

across the ohio river

seen the trains in santa fe

seen the fields of virginia across the great northern plains

but i wish there was a southbound highway headed straight for la

oh the miles keep tearing me away

and my love for you will never ever change

i heard another american heartbreak
