heartbreakin' old achin' blues

on the road so far from home

it's a lonesome night

i'm all alone

ain't got nothin' left to lose

except these heartbreakin' old achin' blues

she's waitin' there

i can see her now

two years today

we took our vows

it's a hard

hard life

but i'm tryin' to

lose these heartbreakin' old achin' blues

when i close my eyes

i can see her there

her ruby lips and her dark brown hair

as her face comes into view

can't keep these heartbreakin' old achin' blues

she's waitin' there

i can see her now

two years today

we took our vows

i'm heading home and soon i'll lose

these heartbreakin' old achin' blues
